The Solar Explosion is a Triumph of Engineering

When photovoltaic (PV) cells first burst into the public consciousness in the 1960s and 1970s, they were useful for producing electricity only in applications where no alternative could be found. Satellites in geosynchronous orbit, for instance, were too far away from Earth to refuel, and it was inconvenient to keep replacing batteries on low

5 FAQs about [Photovoltaic cells usher in an explosion]

Can a solar system explode?

"A solar system can not explode unless there are explosives in it," he said. He also said that it is highly improbable that the systems were hacked especially since a hacker needs to work on each system separately.

Did a solar system explode in Nabatieh?

He believes that what probably happened in Nabatieh, in southern Lebanon, on Wednesday was not the solar system itself that exploded but rather a walkie-talkie device near it, adding that he did not hear of other systems exploding in other areas or getting hacked. "A solar system can not explode unless there are explosives in it," he said.

Do amorphous silicon solar cells use more silane?

Amorphous silicon solar cells, which rely on relatively thin layers of silicon, use more silane in their manufacturing process as they employ the gas to deposit the thin layer of semiconducting materials. Sharp and Uni-Solar are among the manufacturers that require this. But there is an alternative.

Is silane the only environmental hazard involved in solar cell production?

Of course, silane is not the only environmental hazard involved in solar cell production.

Are solar energy systems exploding in Lebanon?
