So how can be solar panels be "renewables" if they are not made of solar panels??

Moreover, at the end of the life cycle solar panels end in the landfill as toxic waste. So they are not renewable at all.

@2f242e12, my apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct that solar panels are not made of solar panels, but rather of materials like silicon, glass, and aluminum.

As for the end-of-life disposal of solar panels, it is true that they can pose environmental challenges if not properly recycled. However, there are now many companies and organizations working to develop more sustainable and efficient ways of recycling solar panels and other renewable energy technologies.

In addition, it's worth noting that the environmental impacts of solar panels and other renewable energy technologies are generally much lower than those of traditional energy sources like fossil fuels. While there are certainly challenges associated with the production and disposal of renewable energy technologies, they are still generally considered to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly than traditional energy sources.
