No credible plan exists for disposal of hazardous panel components, battery materials, or contaminated soil. Without regulatory enforcement, the waste management strategy is a legal and environmental void, leaving land and communities exposed.

The applicant claims panels have minimal end-of-life risk. In reality, degradation, cracking, and improper disposal could release metals into soils permanently.
The absence of a robust life cycle risk assessment renders these claims false and misleading.

Vegetation clearing, habitat loss, and soil contamination threaten native species, yet the assessment downplays impacts using simplistic ecological assumptions.
There is no long-term monitoring plan or adaptive management strategy.

No groundwater monitoring plan exists. Toxic leachate from batteries and panels will migrate into aquifers used for irrigation and livestock.
The assessment ignores the hydrological connectivity of rural water systems, threatening both food security and human health.

The applicant assumes panels are durable for 25–30 years without accounting for hail, fire, or extreme heat.
Broken or cracked panels accelerate chemical leaching.
These claims are speculative, untested, and scientifically unsubstantiated, risking permanent soil and water contamination.
INDEPENDENT RISK RESEARCH IS ESSENTIAL!
