There are no hazardous materials in crystaline #solar modules. Well, there's tin from soldering, but that's it.

Your standard solar module consists of:

• A glass panel and aluminium frame (80%-90% of weight)
• A plastic sheet on the back, or another glass panel
• Rows of solar cells glued onto the back panel, soldered together and connected to a junction box.
