No evidence of PFAS leaching from solar panels, study finds

Researchers in the United States reviewed claims about PFAS in solar panels and found that while fluoropolymers may be used in limited components like backsheets or coatings, there is no confirmed evidence of PFAS leaching from commercially deployed modules. The study highlights widespread confusion between different PFAS types and emphasizes the need for clearer communication and transparency around fluoropolymer use in PV technologies.In a perspective article, researchers from Michigan State University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory examined claims about the presence and potential leaching ...
