As solar power becomes one of the world’s fastest-growing energy sources, the number of aging or damaged panels is also increasing. While many assume that broken solar panels become e-waste, the truth is that most components can be safely recovered and reused . Solar panels are primarily made of glass, aluminum, silicon, and small amounts of metals like silver and copper—all of which are recyclable. Specialized facilities use mechanical and thermal processes to separate these
