There are no hazardous materials in crystaline #solar modules. Well, there's tin from soldering, but that's it.
Your standard solar module consists of:
- A glass panel and aluminium frame (80%-90% of weight)
- A plastic sheet on the back, or another glass panel
- Rows of solar cells glued onto the back panel, soldered together and connected to a junction box.
