Best Answer

There are roughly two types of solar power: Thermic (Solar heating) and Electric (PV)

Risks are only the risks like handling any kind of powered equipment generating/using heat or electricity.

So Solar heating heating can cause fire, stream burns (As used by concentrating solar mirrors) , mechanical overload. PV can cause electrocution and fire by short circuit.

By comparisment with other ways of power production the risks are lower. There is no fuel that can burn/explode and no waste that is either toxic or radioactive.

What are the risks associated with the production of this energy source?

The promoters of solar energy cleverly lead you to believe that it is perfectly safe. Yet they conveniently neglect to mention that solar energy is generated by nuclear fusion within the sun. This process operates on the very same basic laws of nuclear physics used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs!
