California Seeks to Streamline Old Solar Panels' Disposal news.bloombergenvironment.com Apr 19, 2019 - California is expected to release draft regulations today that would streamline how solar panels can be disposed of or recycled, == What will happen to my solar panels after 25 years?The truth is we don`t really know – there`s not really a lot of data to look at since photovoltaics is a relatively new technology (the vast majority of all solar panels are less than 10 years old). However, from what we are seeing so far, we have reason to be excited. Here are a couple of interesting reports: A 33W solar panel (Arco Solar 16-2000) actually outperformed it’s original factory specifications 30 years after it was manufactured.[2]World`s first modern solar panel still works after 60 years.[3]Kyocera has reported several solar power installations that continue to operate reliably and generate electricity even though they are nearly 30 years old.[4]The technology has improved, the solar panels on today`s market are more robust and durable. This is where it gets really interesting. What does all of this actually mean? The lifespan of a modern solar panel is far longer than the 20 years that we use to calculate costs and earnings. This basically translates into more money in your pocket. energyinformative.org

Fake shit again My house is going to have 18 solar panels at 50 lb each. They will last 25 years. That’s less than 1 lb per week of waste. Meanwhile, I see my FatRumper idiot neighbors tossing out three large bags of garbage per week. Your analysis is totally fucked as usual.
