Toward a Just & Sustainable Solar Energy Industry
- Description
- This white paper on the solar energy industry (released January 17, 2009) outlines the health and safety issues faced by the solar photovoltaic industry. The report draws attention to the solar industry which is poised for exponential growth and is at the forefront of a multi-billion dollar "clean" and "green" movement. Yet, little attention is being paid to the impact on the environment and the health of those working in the industry.
SVTC wants to see a solar industry that lives up to its green image, one that will reduce and eventually eliminate toxic chemicals used in production. We also hope the industry will become a source of safe green jobs from production to installation and recycling.
