CAN SOALR PANELS BE RECYCLED?

June 24, 2019

The US has installed over 60 gigawatts of solar panels to date (2019). That’s an estimated 1/4 billion solar panels in the US alone. So there is a growing demand for recycling of solar panels as they become decommissioned over time. While solar panel recycling is still at a very early stage in the US, there are more advanced processes already in place in Europe that demonstrate that the vast majority of a solar panel can be safely and effectively recycled.
