L''un des principaux matériaux utilisés dans la production de cellules photovoltaïques est le silicium.
Cell Fabrication – Silicon wafers are then fabricated into photovoltaic cells. The first step is chemical texturing of the wafer surface, which removes saw damage and increases how much light gets into the wafer when it is exposed to sunlight. The subsequent processes vary significantly depending on device architecture. Most cell types
A battery is an electrochemical cell or series of cells that produces an electric current. In principle, any galvanic cell could be used as a battery. An ideal battery would never run down, produce an unchanging voltage, and be capable of withstanding environmental extremes of heat and humidity. Real batteries strike a balance between ideal

In other words, from an environmental point of view, insufficient toxicity and risk information exists for solar cells.
Insufficient toxicity and environmental risk information currently exists. However, it is known that lead (PbI 2), tin (SnI 2), cadmium, silicon, and copper, which are major ingredients in solar cells, are harmful to the ecosystem and human health if discharged from broken products in landfills or after environmental disasters.
Examples of these chemicals are hydrogen, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, isopropanol, ammonia, and selenium hydride. Most of these compounds are flammable, corrosive, toxic, and carcinogenic, hence they require special handling. The emissions of these hazardous gases and chemical solvents vary with the type of PV cell materials.
Risks of contamination by leachates containing harmful chemicals are linked to environmental disasters (hurricanes, hail, and landslides). However, research into the health and environmental safety of solar cells is rare, despite the fact that solar cell devices contain harmful chemicals such as Cd, Pb, Sn, Cu, and Al.
However, this ramp-up in deployment has led to growing concerns about PV waste and toxicity. Communities, government agencies, and policymakers worry about the quantity of waste that could arise from decommissioning PV modules, as well as their potential to leach toxic metals.
