Solar Panel Recycling

Solar panel recycling is the process of recovering valuable materials from used solar panels to minimize waste and environmental impact. When solar panels reach the end of their lifespan, typically after 25-30 years, they cannot be simply discarded. Instead, specialized facilities dismantle the panels to reclaim materials like glass, aluminum, and rare metals such as silicon and silver. This recycling process not only reduces landfill waste but also conserves resources, allowing for the production of new solar panels and other products. As solar energy becomes more widespread, recycling becomes increasingly important for sustainable energy practices.
