Solar Panels, for CIVIL discussion

There are LOTS of problems with solar panels. There was an article recently that Amazon has "quietly" shut down panels on their warehouses because they've suffered fires. Panels run HOT in other words they generate their own heat while in operation on top of being heated by the sun---in hot areas especially. Panels used 24/ 7 are not especially long life, either. I've heard less than 20 years service, and less than that "some opinions."

And like turbine blades, how ya going to "recycle" these. They are a high waste, low yield recycling object, generating lots of toxins, etc both in manufacture and disposal and like any other complicated high- plastics device

Last there are many areas of the country where solar is simply not an option, not an efficient, dependable, high yield option. Cloudy days, rain, winter, etc
