This topic came up with my brother (N Ala). Some guy showed up in the rural area about 6 weeks ago...trying to find someone with 1,000 acres and willing to let this ‘green’ company put a solar farm up. Lease deal....probably would have paid high sum of money.
Various folks approached....said ‘no’...over this precise issue of toxic stuff if hail storms come.
Some kind of gov’t grant is attached to the company doing this.

I wonder what the ‘return to natural state’ situation becomes when the company takes all they can get from the solar operation and then moves on, or declares bankruptcy?
They should be putting them on brownfield sites. They can’t be used for many uses without a lot of mitigation now.
It is not just hale storms, these materials leach out from solar panels naturally over time. Rendering the soil below it useless for generations.
“Some kind of gov’t grant” is the only way these hucksters can make a profit. The entire green machine is powered by government money.
