    The environmental impact is the sum of the non geo,solar and or wing power sources needed to power the electric ovens to make the solar cells. Most of the processes for panels will not have much on the way of byproducts.
    One of the new types uses Cadnium and Iridium as an alteritive to Silicon based products though which does pose a threat at the end of the panels life for landfills. Most panels are rated 10 to 30 years.
    And there is water way tests for safe lvls of Silicon in water but I have not heard of any for Si02 as air based hazards. I mean particles from a vapor state reaction used to make the semiconductors
