    Every few decades we would dump fields and fields of solar panels. I’m sure that’s not good for the environment. The heavy metals, batteries, manufacturing and transportation byproducts, even the plastics that could be used in packaging. Wish there was a better renewable energy solution with no waste.

      Nobody talks about dumping these things in the field. Glass, silicon, and aluminum can be reused or disposed safely. As I said in previous post - in EU electronic waste is disposed properly without dumping whole things into a landfill. Solar panels aren’t even the hardest e-waste to deal with.
