The use of fossil fuels has gradually replaced traditional sources of energy like wood and biomass since the industrial revolution, leading to an increase in energy consumption. Solar technology emerged in the 1860s as a possible solution to coal depletion, but lost popularity with the emergence of accessible, cost-effective coal and petroleum in the early 1900s. Concentrated solar power technologies, such as parabolic dish, trough, and Scheffler reflectors, offer a promising option for providing process heat in commercial and industrial settings. However, a significant issue with both photovoltaic and concentrated solar power generation is the potential harm to endangered, rare, or endemic bird species that inhabit specific habitats necessary for their survival. Additionally, there are hazards associated with the reflection of sunlight from reflective objects. This study explores these concerns and suggests potential solutions to mitigate the ecological risks involved.
