Recently I have read in some article that solar energy will be the future of renewable energy in India. I agree, it is available in a huge amount but to process it we need solar cell that convert heat into electricity. Can the manufacturing of solar cells be environmental friendly?

Interesting question soma. Like you many have the same doubt, but the environmental impact and safety risk associated with the manufacture of solar cells is negligible compared with conventional energy sources such as coal, oil and nuclear power. Especially the silicon that is used almost exclusively in the manufacture of solar cells today is completely harmless. Moreover, the manufacturing processes for solar cells are highly sophisticated and thoroughly tried and tested. Even the mass production of solar cells will not pose any environmental or health risks from a chemical-toxicological point of view.
