I note that you have yet again carefully dodged the issue of what's to
happen to your solar panels at their end of life.

A useful reference point.

Solar panels with a claimed maximum rating of 1GW have a glass content in
excess
of 50,000 Tonnes

So in Germany they currently have more than 1.5 million tonnes of glass to
get
rid of in around 25 years, not just any glass, glass rammed full of
cadmium.


You ARE full of crap aren't you?
Cadmium is not used in current PV panels but might be in future.

Cadmium is not mined, it is a by product of zinc production.
So it will be with us regardless.

All coloured glass BTW is filled with heavy metals.
As are uPVC window frames, household paints etc etc.
