Abstract
Utilization of solar photovoltaic is increasing day by day to reduce dependence on the power grid. Decomposition of 1stand 3rdgeneration silicon solar cells not only depends upon the plastic and other materials but also the hazardous element mainly used as their character on the bases of which they are categorized as 1st, 2ndand 3rdcontemporaries solar cells. These ingredient are mostly carcinogenic and some of them having lifespan of more than 100 years. After abjection of solar cells, they remain in the soil for many years and cause serious problem to land environment and also responsible for causing carcinogenic disease inhuman and other living beings. This paper explores decomposition rates of the chemical element mainly used in 1stand 3rdgeneration solar cells throughout the past years ,possible environmental and health effects by the hazardous elements used in them typically silicon(atomic number 14)and focusing on possible suggested solutions or alternatives.
