Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think − an electrical engineer explains

Broken and worn-out solar panels can be recycled, but it's not easy. Suzanne Kreiter/The Boston Globe via Getty ImagesIt’s hard work soaking up sunlight to generate clean electricity. After about 25 to 30 years, solar panels wear out. Over the years, heating and cooling cycles stress the materials. Small cracks develop, precipitation corrodes the frame and layers of materials can start to peel apart. In 2023, about 90% of old or faulty solar pan…
