The huge spike in UK solar panel installations in the early 2010s can only mean one thing: there’s a mountain of solar waste approaching. If you’re considering switching to solar for green reasons, naturally you’ll be concerned about how eco-friendly the disposal process is. Fortunately, solar panels can be (and are) recycled in the UK, and your installer is supposed to take care of it.
In this video, our solar experts Charlie and Josh explain how the solar panel recycling process works in the UK, what actually happens to the panel, how much of it is reused, and what kind of solar-recycled-based innovation is happening around the world (hello France).
