As we are searching a new way to power our world the capacity of solar panels have been sixfolded in 5 years!
But making those panels aren't that green and it can have a downside to the environment.
Fabricating the panels requires caustic chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid, and the process uses water as well as electricity, the production of which emits greenhouse gases. It also creates waste. These problems could undercut solar's ability to fight climate change and reduce environmental toxics.
we also have the problem that there aren't enough places to recycle old solar panels, and there aren't enough defunct solar panels to make recycling them economically attractive.
Ben Santarris, said his company has made efforts to recycle panels, but the volume isn't there yet. "We have product that's still performing to standard from 1978, so we don't have a big stream," he said. "It is a problem, because on one hand there is an interest in getting ahead of a swelling stream of returning panels. On the other hand, there's not a big market for it right now."
i hope that we will use green power as an main source of power in the future give me you're opinion in the comments
and thanks for reading.
Very interesting, I believe they are a solid option

yeah thanks man i diff wil check you out and i agree that it is an solid option in the future.
Hi! I am a robot. I just upvoted you! I found similar content that readers might be interested in:

very good point....renewable energies must be utilized but if getting them to be utilized requires another destruction that should be reevaluated
well you got a point about the destruction.
I don't like the sound of that HFl but 'there isn't enough places to place the panels?'. So we can start greening the desert using solar power to condense water out of the air!
