Shifting Perspective

Myth

Solar panels just end up in the landfill.

Fact

They can be recycled! Solar panels are designed to last 25–30 years or more, and recycling programs for panels are growing rapidly. At the end of their life, materials like glass, aluminum, and silicon can be recovered and reused.
