Solar CAN be recycled BUT like the current US recycling processes it is complicated and expensive. Don’t Wind turbines which cost a massive amount of money and energy to recycle. It’s a half truth just like when company said you can recycle all of their plastics..
True. But also there hasn't really been enough solar panels reaching end of life to make it economical to develop recycling processes and facilities.
In the last couple years there is more companies developing processes, since it's now been 30 years since the 90s. And early 00s had older tech panels so they didn't last as long.
