I think this paper comes the closest to what I am talking about but still leaves out a lot. They admit this though which is good. At the time it was written most PV was made from recycled scrap from the semiconductor industry because nobody was in the business of purifying silicon to the less stringent needs of the solar PV industry. That is not the case today. I'll leave it to you to track down the others if you consider it worthwhile. Many references are listed at the end of this paper. Too bad nobody looks at it from and environmental impact payback perspective, but hey, that means the door is wide open for you to be the first!
