New Study: Solar Module Owners Sitting On A Pile Of Hazardous Lead And Cadmium

By P Gosselin on 23. May 2018

Dubbed as a clean source of energy, new research findings are showing that home and property owners producing clean, CO2-electricity may in fact find themselves sitting on a pile of hazardous waste once the module lifetime expires.

In many countries, it is illegal to simply discard hazardous materials into the household garbage, and so many solar energy module operators may find themselves paying high fees for hazardous waste disposal, while in third world countries the hazardous modules will simply end up be discard onto the landscape.
