Solar panel byproducts.

Crystalline silicon is a key component of many solar panels. One of the toxic chemicals involved with solar panels is not what s in the panels but is a byproduct of their production. Silicon tetrachloride a byproduct of producing crystalline silicon is also highly toxic. Most home solar panels on the market today have power output ratings ranging from 250 to 400 watts with higher power ratings generally considered preferable to lower power ratings.

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. Silicon tetrachloride is highly toxic killing plants and animals. Approximately 90 of most pv modules are made up of glass. Nguyen phd toxic chemicals in solar panels include cadmium telluride copper indium selenide cadmium gallium di selenide copper indium gallium di selenide hexafluoroethane lead and polyvinyl fluoride.
