Solar energy has now become an essential part of the global move toward clean energy and it will play an essential role in meeting the energy demand challenges in future. Thus it is critical that the growing solar photovoltaic industry is truly safe and sustainable. But as the sector expands, little attention is being paid to the potential environmental and health costs of this technology. Is this technology completely safe and clean? Or do we need to look at it more closely? The answer probably lies in knowing and understanding the risks and look for solutions if needed.
