Solar energy is claimed as a clean form of energy as no carbon dioxide or nitrogen and sulfur oxides are produced during the operation of solar plants or solar cells (as is the case when using fossil fuels as coal, oil, or natural gas). However, solar energy is not absolutely clean if we look to the overall solar cycle including the production of solar cells or mirrors as well including the decommissioning of these solar plants or cells. Around 50 toxic elements are included in the production of solar cells or mirrors. In this regards, nuclear, wind, and hydro-electric power plants are even cleaner than solar power plants.
