The initial search on the Science Direct database for LCA and solar cells returned nearly 5000 reviews by April 2023. Although the huge number of review literatures, there is no systematic and statistical review on the life cycle environmental impacts of emerging solar cells, in the context of climate change and material shortage.
The solar PV industry must address these issues immediately, or risk repeating the mistakes made by the microelectronics industry. Silicon-based solar PV production involves many of the same materials as the microelectronics industry and, therefore, presents many of the same hazards.
In other words, from an environmental point of view, insufficient toxicity and risk information exists for solar cells.
