- Reasons for recommending:
Manufacturing the latest solar cells produces far less greenhouse gases and other pollutants than conventional fossil fuels, finds this life-cycle assessment by Fthenakis et al. This means that "at least 89% of air emissions associated with electricity generation could be prevented if electricity from photovoltaics displaces electricity from the grid," they say.
