Solar panel recycling: Turning ticking time bombs into possibilities
Australia has certainly shown its cravings for solar energy. Now, with the average lifespan of a solar panel being around 20 years, lots of installations from the early 2000's are readied to get to end-of-life. Will they wind up in landfill or be reused? The price of recycling is greater than landfill, as well as the worth of recovered materials is smaller sized than the original, so there's minimal interest in recycling. However offered the existence of heavy metals, such as lead as well as tin, if waste is managed improperly, we're on track for one more recycling situation. A prospective time bomb could emerge as a possibility, nonetheless, if the international EV market revealed a passion in the recuperated solar products.
