    They aren't tough to recycle, just expensive. (one can't simply bulldoze one onto the back of a truck. takes about as much work to take one down as it took to build.) The biggest problem is getting people to recycle, well, anything. Wind farms tend to simply be abandoned, so there's no one to clean anything up.

    I support alternative energy like this but some important drawback need attention but I am glad India is building its own manufacturing to avoid China and not rely on "western" countries. The first drawback is huge land area required for solar and I prefer to put on building rooftops to use that otherwise unused space. The second is the need to store the energy to use at night and during cloudy days. The third is minimizing fossil energy consumption during manufacturing phase. The 4th is older technology with wiring on top of the cell should be redesigned to the bottom of the cell like SunPower USA does it to maximize efficiency.

But I am much more in doubt if any EU country may be able and willing to install new domestic production sites for solar energy. The first step in photovoltaic was done in Gemany. But it is the same like with photo, computer, hifi, etc. etc. Founding activities are often done from Germany. But production ist always given away to asia. Thats the main megatrend of western countries. If there will be any return to domestic production is unclear. But I think currently the USA may be more willing to fetch production back to domestic sites, than in Europe. Europe is nowadays a retirement house !

The quartz and carbon are heated by fuel and coal firing processes which produce pollution emissions. Might as well just used that energy for steam turbines.

    This is a good question. At the beginning of the video it shows silica being heated in a furnace. What is that furnace burning to generate the heat to melt the silica? Is the first question I asked. Then there is a silver paste. How is that created? Then all the vinyl/plastic parts...from petroleum? And the metals used must be mined, what fuel is being used to do that? Smelting metals requires more heat... Also we need alot of batteries to store energy to use, at night or on cloudy days. So that is more manufacturing and raw materials. I'm not saying I don't support solar. I'm just wondering what the environmental cost is to manufacture enough solar panels (which could be affixed to many surfaces, not just empty land) to go completely solar. Can the planet afford that much more carbon emission? And the question someone else asked about recycling the panels when they're at the end of their 20 year cycle is good too. I would love to see a documentary that explores this more in depth and the possible solutions.

    @bel z. I saw it. I don't know how outdated the info is. The questions about the amount of energy it takes to create solar, electric, wind turbines, nuclear reactors etc. are still valid. It's reasonable to ask for a cost and logistical analysis when considering alternative energy solutions, and to expect complete transparency about the downsides to them. What I don't want is a fluffy feel good ad campaign about how great these things are just so corps. and their lobbiests can get govt. contracts, then later we find out the net gain has only been to their shareholders, while the planet and people are no better off than before. And it seems like every time we blindly implement a new technology to fix one problem (or to make something easier or better), we end up with a different set of problems.

    What about scrap of solar panels after 25 years

    U rip off aluminum frame and scrap. Silver is used for heat transfer to frame, also much value. Silicon? Glass? Throw it in the trash. Silicon contains dopants which are toxic but there is no easy way to recycle that makes it profitable without subsidy

    It takes way to much energy and resources for a 100 watt solar panel. A microwave uses 1200-1500 watts when used. So, you’ll need about 230 billion solar panels just to run basic utilities. The earth would hallowed out like the moon if we continue to follow this process.

    We barely even scratched the surface of earth in only a few specific places and we built the current world with just that speck. Use your brain.

    No real mention of the chemical cleaning steps which usually involve Hydrofluoric acid, Hydrochloric acid, Ammonia Hydroxide and Sulphuric acid among other chemicals. In countries like China who produce vast amounts of solar panels for the western market, these chemicals are often dumped into rivers and landfills. They also use vast amounts of water in the process which becomes contaminated and is also dumped into local locals. Such an environmentally responsible technology :)

    Don't forget the "Source of carbon" aka coal they use to fuse with the silica. And they use a coal powered furnace to melt it too. Mmmmh, soo clean.

    ​@@abalakrishnan4152 No it's not. IF you are concerned about carbon then you need to start doing the maths on the true carbon cost of solar panels from life to death and then comparing it to the energy they produced in comparison to the carbon cost of nuclear power. In general the calculations for solar panels rarely go all the way back to the source materials and instead concentrate only on the manufacture, as a result the most quoted figures are wrong. Nuclear power would be far superior and most importantly, it's an entirely stable and predictable source of energy. Solar panels are not reliable because the power they provide is intermittent. Worse still, the panels lose efficiency in hot weather as the basic principle of the panels is undermined in such heat. Gas powered stations are superior to solar panels at this point. IF the alternatives being created based upon various mineral lattices become functional then we can talk again but until that point we need a reliable source of energy if we hope to avoid 2-3 billion people from starving to death. Solar panels also don't provide the necessary feedstock for nitrogen fertiliser production (this comes from natural gas). Do away with that or dramatically increase it's cost and you have a billion starving to death within a year.
