Talk:Photovoltaic cell

Merge with Solar cell
It was decided that this was a good thing to do (see Talk:Solar cell), so I am doing it. I haven't heard about the recycling of solar cells. Whilst this seems like a nice idea, I doubt it is actually practical, and I'm fairly sure that nobody is actually doing it. As such, I think it is misinformation and I will not be merging this section with solar cell. I include it here in case anybody really wants to reinstate it.

Recycling
When photovoltaic cells have to be replaced, the silicon can be reused. Only the coating materials need to be renewed.

Photovoltaic cells are often made from refined silicon that is a by-product of semiconductor production. The limited supply of such relatively cheap by-product is an often-overlooked obstacle to the widespread production of photovoltaic cells.

Merger with solar cell
I'm not exactly sure how to go about turning this page into a redirect to solar cell. Does someone else want to tell me how to do it, or just do it themsemves? darkside2010 16:22, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

what i do:


 * 1) cut and paste everything from here into solar cell
 * 2) add an  tag at the top of solar cell and save it
 * 3) make this page say #REDIRECT(Solar cell)
 * 4) clean up solar cell and merge all the information together nicely - Omegatron 18:12, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
