1) We think they should develop the new technology because solar energy is one of the most stable and efficient type of renewable energy and this technology even further improve its possibilities => better to raise investments. It have a visible and achieveable goal. Then, they can continue to develop its recycling system.

2) Solar panels nowadays are very expensive to install and it raise a concern of recycling themselves. They are mostly made of lithium battery and they are very toxic, even more than plastics.

Question 1:

Researchers should balance both directions, but enhancing existing solar panels and batteries may have more immediate benefits. Current technologies are already widely deployed, so even small efficiency improvements or cost reductions could have a large global impact.

Question 2:

Widespread use could cause environmental harm from material extraction and e-waste, and raise ethical issues like unequal access, job losses, and fairness in energy distribution.
