Video: Harmful to the environment of solar cells

The production of solar cells produces NF3 greenhouse gases that can cause climate change.

Greenhouse gas emissions in the United States are 82% of carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ). Nitrogen trifluotride or NF3 only accounts for a small but growing share.

The amount of CO2 increased by only 5.6% between 1990 and 2015, but the amount of NF3 increased more than 1000% in the same period of 25 years.

This increase is associated with the manufacturing industry that uses chemicals to produce: solar cells, semiconductor devices and LCD screens.
