Reply to comment by Amjam14 in Next generation solar modules get European funding - four-year project includes 17 partners from 12 countries across Europe, with a key objective to demonstrate 26%-efficient modules or higher on industrial scale. Two key companies involved - Q Cells & HZB. by ForHidingSquirrels

If you look at what is required to make a solar panel start to finish, you’d see that the amount of mining, diesel fuel used by mining equipment and transportation of goods…etc. had a way bigger impact on the environment. Solar panels are not recyclable. They leach out harmful chemicals into the soil as they age. They aren’t as bad as lithium batteries but still pretty bad!

You know, you can look things up. Search for life cycle assessment and read some scientific papers. Plus, they are recyclable (just as Li Ion batteries). Your texts read like generated from some fossil lobby AI.
