294. Solar Recycling 101

Solar Recycling - Cascade Eco Minerals is a pioneer of solar recycling in North America. In 2020 the company recycled 110,000 solar modules answering the question - can solar modules be recycled?
More than 300 million solar modules were installed world-wide in 2020 so it's pretty important to figure out recycling. But there is a very big lag in time between manufacturing and recycling. Solar modules are guaranteed for 20-25 years and can last up to 40 years.
In part II of our Green Energy Futures CKUA Radio Solar Recycling series we present Solar Recycling 101. What's a solar module made of? How is it recycled? Are there any nasty toxic materials in a solar modules?
We present all the nitty gritty details behind solar recycling with the help of Chris Stearns, National Sales Director for Cascade Eco Minerals one just a few industry endorsed solar recyclers in the United States.
