Energy sourcesThis is how solar panel recycling can be scaled up now
Solar is the fastest growing renewable energy source and is projected to continue to accelerate due to the Inflation Reduction Act. However, in the past, decommissioned solar panels mostly went to landfills. Nowadays, 95% of value in materials can be recycled – but solar panel recycling needs to be scaled up. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/10/solar-panel-recycling-is-here-and-now-is-the-time-to-scale-up/
