The December 2008 issue of Photon International magazine (page 102) has an
article titled "PV: climate killer?" subtitled "The worst possible greenhouse
gases are being used to manufacture solar modules." The article is not on their
online archive yet but you can get a sample copy of the magazine at

Joel Davidson - guilty of the manufacture, distribution, and use of PV and
exhaling CO2.

There was a similar piece on the local NPR affiliates news about a month ago.
The cleaning compound in question was one that is not regulated as a harmful
substance by the EPA. (Boy I feel better now) However the semiconductor
industry, as a whole, has been looking for a substitute that is more
environmentally friendly without increasing costs.
Whether it's a proactive attempt to green up the manufacturing process or
heading off a federal mandate to replace it I don't know. Either way,
manufacturers everywhere seem to be anticipating tougher environmental laws
over the next 4 years and are beginning to squirm.

Excuse my ignorance.......
there was an article in Sunday's Dallas Morning News about "solar panels
causing greenhouse gases" due to nsf3 (nfs?) used in cleaning contacts during
manufacturing. Paper already on way to recycle bin, can't bring it up on their
website. Can anyone enlighten me so as to have bullets to shoot down this
latest round of uninformed reporting?
