Are Old Solar Panels Worth Anything?
Solar panels usually last 20–30 years, but what happens after that? Instead of being thrown away, old panels can be recycled to recover valuable raw materials. While the efficiency may decline, their internal components remain useful. This makes solar panel recycling both an environmental responsibility and a profitable opportunity.
What Materials Are Valuable?
Each solar panel contains around 65–70% glass, 10–15% aluminum, 5% silicon, and small amounts of silver and copper. These materials retain their market value even after the panel stops generating electricity effectively. With demand for renewable energy materials rising, the recycling market is stronger than ever.
