Environmental Systems Cycle 2 Assessment

How can the strategic placement of solar panels in urban areas maximize energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact?

• By using them only in areas with the highest sunlight exposure

• By placing them only on rooftops to avoid land use

• By integrating them into building materials and urban infrastructure

• By installing them in remote areas away from cities
