I kno solar energy is the be-all, end-all but what happens to old photovolcaic cells?

Question

Won't that be a form of toxic waste??After all there are chemicals in the cells aren't there? Or am I more stupid than I think????

Answer 1

Solar may never be the end all due to its uncertainity in a lot of the world as well as the enormous costs.

Answer 2

no you are right.... however those chemicals can also be recyclcled into new Photovotaic cells
