“…Possible penalties that could be imposed on Poland and Hungary for failure to achieve the assumed share of RES could constitute a serious burden for these countries. It should be noted that increasing the installed capacity in photovoltaics, due to the relatively short period of investment implementation (Franz & Piringer, 2020), was one of the best solutions allowing Poland to achieve and Hungary to maintain the assumed RES share in the total energy balance (Hałacz et al, 2020).…”

The countries of the Visegrad Group (V4) face serious challenges related to increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RES) and the energy mix. One of the elements connected with the achievement of higher use of RES is the development of photovoltaics. The countries of the Visegrad Group still have untapped potential to increase energy production based on photovoltaic installations. However, this will require the implementation of solutions that will, on the one hand, encourage investors to choose this type of RES, and on the other hand, invest in obsolete transmission networks and energy storage. The aim of the article is to analyse the conditions related to the development of photovoltaics in the Visegrad Group countries, with particular emphasis on the further development of RES until 2030. The article also demonstrates the potential of solutions associated with the adaptation of industrial networks to the changing conditions in this sector (e.g. the growing number of prosumers). Moreover, the importance of storing energy from photovoltaic installations was emphasized, which will allow the stabilization of the energy system.

“…In this article, it is observed that analysis of different biomass catalyzed with scrapped PV cells during combustion process, the degradation rate of biomass was increased [15]. The article talks about different answers for reusing photovoltaic modules as a major aspect of a technique advancing the practical administration of waste from lapsed PV frameworks [16].…”

Environmental impacts of electricity production through nonrenewable sources are greatly reduced by solar energy production through PV cells. The use of solar energy as an alternative to conventional methods is about to increase tenfold by the year 2050. This considerably increases the number of solar cell wastes for which the recycling processes are confronted with various issues due to the presence of hazardous materials like Al, lead, chromium, glass, silver, and ethylene vinyl. Different approaches for the disposal and segregation of these materials through mechanical, thermal, and chemical means are investigated in this review work. Since many countries have begun to implement mechanisms to deal with the destruction of solar PV (photovoltaic) panels, this evaluation will concentrate on the existing mechanisms and procedures. Existing mechanisms like landfilling, open dumping, and regulations and policies of the retired solar panel were discussed.

“…An adverse effect of pollutants on the environment including water and soil was proven as well [15][16][17][18]. It is an important measure in this regard to conduct continuous research and to disseminate its findings, especially concerning the areas of consumer choices, whose consequences may affect the environment for decades to come [19,20].…”

The article presents the results of a study aiming to select the optimal source of heat for a newly designed single-family home. Commercial software was used to compare heating and ventilation systems involving a bituminous coal boiler, a condensing gas boiler, a biomass boiler, a heat pump with water and glycol as heat transfer media. The effectiveness of natural ventilation, mechanical ventilation with a ground-coupled heat exchanger, and solar heater panels for water heating were evaluated. The analysis was based on the annual demand for useful energy, final energy, and non-renewable primary energy in view of the pollution output of the evaluated heating systems. The analysis revealed that the heat pump with water and glycol was the optimal solution. However, the performance of the heat pump in real-life conditions was below its maximum theoretical efficiency. The biomass boiler contributed to the highest reduction in pollutant emissions (according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Change guidelines, carbon dioxide emissions have zero value), but it was characterized by the highest demand for final energy. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery was required in all analyzed systems to achieve optimal results. The introduction of mechanical ventilation decreased the demand for final energy by 10% to around 40% relative to the corresponding heating systems with natural ventilation.
