question 22 of 25
which of the following is a negative environmental impact of using solar (photovoltaic) energy?
a. interference with radar and telecommunication facilities
b. high consumption of freshwater resources
c. local ecosystem degradation through noise pollution
d. large amounts of toxic radioactive waste

Explanation:

Solar - PV systems require significant amounts of water for manufacturing and cleaning. Freshwater is often used in these processes, leading to high freshwater consumption which can be a negative environmental impact. Solar energy does not cause interference with radar and telecommunication facilities, nor does it produce noise pollution or large amounts of toxic radioactive waste.

Answer:

B. High consumption of freshwater resources
