IARU R1 PRC in conjunction with the Region’s EMC Committee has submitted a paper to a recent European Commission Call for Evidence with respect to Solar Energy Strategy. Solar energy systems, which include Solar PV, are a progressive technology whose use is to be encouraged. However, there are certain caveats to be noted in deployment and on-going use.
IARU concerns are not with solar technology per se but with the potential pollution from so-called optimizers. The paper that was submitted detailed elements of the on-going research and monitoring by the EMC Committee in this area.
The paper is available here.
