I urge those to address the question of recyclability of those monocrystalline and polycrystalline kinds as where old panels should be sent to . without any charge for accepting them or wht ? A thin film solar manufacturer that I will not name.. is the only company I am aware of that has already included in all purchase agreements to accept old panels for recycling free of charge.. Itis one thing to say that you can recycle solar panels and an entirely other thing to say whehter you will be charged to recycle yoru old panels.. if you have rooftop panels that need to be recycled , so you would need to know if you will have to pay the recycler to accept your old panels lke they do with your other old applicanecs, electronics, etc.. Who would want to pay the rerycler ?? This will beomce a bitter experience for many rooftop solar customers in the future.. lets not delay this issue until years later or we will have so many disgruntled rooftop solar cusotmers fuming about having to pay to recycle ! you cannot discard solar panels in your trashcans , can you? or even your brown recycling can anyway! Think way ahead and be grid smart! This recyclabilty issue may be what keep people from listeniing to clmate change.. They have this issue in back of their heads without bothering to rasie this .. See what I am saying ?
I wont be surprised to see many rooftop customers deciding to store their old panels in the backyards cluttering all over instead of paying to have them recycled at local scrapyards or whatever.. it is no different than junk cars, etc.. who needs that? more clutter 11!! BE grid smart!
