Don't forget that it's full of toxins, so you're going to grind it down and use it for the kids sand pit or cement your new patio with it. Is that right?
It's not full of toxins! The harmful materials are not in organic compounds. If you spent 7 years at university to study chemistry like I have done, you'll see solar panels as benign rather than dangerous.

Like EV fires, nobody expected them, so nobody made any regulations. Now we're starting to see EV charging and parking regulations and prohibitions more and more for the sake of safety. It's going to be just the same with solar farms. The first one is treated as a one-off, but after a few more storms, somebody will realise how big a problem it is and have to do something - just like all the scrap GRP wind turbine blades that nobody knows what to do with, so they just bury them. They never thought of that either until it happened.
OK then. What is your solution to our energy production in the future ?

You seem to have changed your story. You said above that they contain selenium, lead, cadmium and arsenic. They sound pretty toxic to me. Google says that solar panels are harmless in themselves, but they have to be treated as toxic waste when it comes to disposal.

I didn't change a thing. Panels have different chemistries. That means that the panels you have at your house may contain some but most certainly not all of them greater than just traces. I reckon you know that already but are just bored so just wind me up for a laugh. Still, I bet you can't get any of the harmful substances out of your panels even if you try.

they still go to land fill as can not be recycled prob burn them in my rubbish burning power station tho.

go down the gaza strip you might find a arm and a leg and depleted uranium ther kids can play with till they get blown up for profit and so Israel can nick all there land :p

Yeah and its likely the only pic of them damaged you'll ever see, as its just a bit of anti-renewable propaganda uploaded over and over and over.

You'll never get them uploading pics of China's 3 gorges solar farm. Just keep convincing the Western plebs they're better paying through the nose for gas and oil produced electricity.
You don't live in China..
Except in your mind?
Just keep convincing western plebs that they're better off paying thru the nose for Fake "Free Green Energy".
There, fixed it for you? You're welcome :)

What happened to this one?
Did they accidentally send all the power thru it?
Do you want it on your roof?
That looks like some sort of lithium storage battery went off underneath it. Maybe it was to power the control system or something like that.

Or was it the owner came to visit in his EV, and its battery went off while he was checking the other panels and taking the photos/film.

I'm building a wind powered bike made of eco-friendly materials, like plastic and wood. What's yours?
Are you attaching the capture unit to the bars, or wearing it around your neck ?
