How to Build a Low-tech Solar Panel?

George Cove, a forgotten solar power pioneer, may have built a highly efficient photovoltaic panel 40 years before Bell Labs engineers invented silicon cells. If proven to work, his design could lead to less complex and more sustainable solar panels. Above: George Cove stands next to his third solar array. Source: "Generating electricity by the sun s rays", Popular Electricity, Volume 2, nr. 12, April 1910, pp.793. More efficient, less sustainable Ever since Bell Labs presented the first practical solar PV panel in the 1950s, technological development has focused on reducing costs and increasing the efficiency of solar cells. According to these standards, researchers have made a lot of progress. The efficiency of solar panels increased from less than 5% in. ....

No 'green halo' for renewables: First Solar, Veolia, others tackle wind and solar environmental impacts

Renewables are vaunted for their ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of the push to address climate change in the United States and elsewhere, but that doesn’t mean they have zero environmental impact. 
Projections from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) show the share of renewable generation increasing from 18% in 2018 to to 31% in the U.S. by 2050. As their capacity grows, so does the scale of their effects along with industry and public awareness of the challenges.
Some of the environmental issues getting the most scrutiny have been toxic substances and wastewater generated in the production of some solar photovoltaic (PV) cells; changed land use and disrupted wildlife habitat from both solar and wind projects; and significant recycling and disposal challenges for both solar panels and wind turbine rotor blades. ....
