What are the hidden environmental and social costs of solar power?

This may be only personal opinion, but the costs of harnessing solar power are giving up polluted air and pointless wars fought over fossil fuels. I'll admit that going to solar power for everything from houses to cars would kill the oil industry, so that might be a cost for you, if you care for such things. Germany as I recall is currently the world's leader in production and usage of solar cells and the resulting energy, and I don't believe they're in dire straits at the moment because of it. Coal miners and oil well diggers will lose the jobs, but jobs will open up in solar panel manufacturing plants will open.
