A massive hailstorm in southeastern Texas destroyed a solar farm earlier this month, which has garnered dialogue about “green” alternatives and whether or not solar panels are a sustainable source of energy.
Concerns about the broken panels leaking harsh chemicals have also come into play.
Fox News reports that the storm occurred on March 15 and shattered hundreds of panels at Fighting Jays Solar farm in Fort Bend County. The weather incident also destroyed homes, businesses, and property in the area.
Among the greatest causes of concern is the possibility that the broken solar panels could be leaking harmful chemicals such as cadmium and telluride, which pose a serious risk to human health.
