  >Solar panels _often_ contain lead, cadmium, and other toxic chemicals that cannot be removed without breaking apart the entire panel. Nowadays the definition of "often" has shifted to meaning 5%. The waste problem is only relevant for thin film solar panels which only comprise a tiny percentage of the entire market.
