As much as I want renewables, I can’t help but wonder just how are those panels made, in the first place?
I’ve used solar power in the past AND will again, in the future (possibly even a wind turbine).
Good question, Kenneth. PVCS are made from the same silicon oxide semiconductors that run our computers. Apparently they melt sand and insert a “seed” to ensure the new crystals form exactly the way they want them to: http://www.ti.com/corp/docs/manufacturing/howchipmade.shtml
