There is nothing green about solar panels. There is well referenced information in Ozzie Zehner's Green Illusions: The Dirty Secrets of Clean Energy and the Future of Environmentalism. This from p.18: the manufacturing process of solar cells is one of the largest emitters of hexafluoroethane, nitrogen triflouride, and sulfur hexaflouride - all being greenhouse gases that are thousands of times more potent that CO2, and the solar photovoltaic industry is one of the fastest growing emitters of these gases. Not to mention all the electronic waste and nanomaterials that their disposal creates.
