Solar power is when sunlight is used to create electricity. Solar power is a renewable energy source, meaning that it can be replenished or recycled. Two abiotic factors that are likely to be effected are the amounts of electricity created and distributed and it can interfere with rainfall and drainage. Some biotic factors that can be effected by solar power are the use of fossil fuels, the use of plants and animals, the rainfall, the loss of habitat. One short-term environmental effect solar power has is loss of habitats. One long-term environmental effect is if in contact with solar power it can cause injury or even death. Some safety concerns for people who work with solar power are arc flashes, electric shock, falls, and thermal burn hazards that can cause death.
