Who claims you cannot recycle Solar Panels?

Mindless cheerleaders for the coalition.

Wow!

Well that's it than!

All Australia problem solved by two Americans in bumnowhere Texas

Fantastic!

I hope you sent the link to Albo?

I'm sure he will be all over it!

UX design - User Experience design

So basically a software designer. ;)

It has been shown it's cheaper to throw them away compared to recycling them.

Take our minimum wage over $24 per hour not including super holiday and sick pay or workers comp premium.
The labor costs make it very expensive.

Take glass out
dismantle alloy frame
Remove copper wires stack up solar cells.
How many will 1 person do in a day?

They're starting to pile up we will have billions to recycle get cracking.

Bian needs send this you tube blog of two nobody's solving all Australia energy problems STAT!!

Who needs science or experience when we have Bian on the ground watching you tube vids!

The Australian government could save billions in not employing professional educated people and instead just following Bian best of YouTube blog!

Coming up next in Bian blog...two Thailand stripers show how to make a balstic middle  missle with no more than a can of ham and a empty beer bottle.

Bian has most likely already brought shares  ::)

Of course, solar panels can be recycled.

The problem is it is not economic. It is another way for people to get free money from the government and still burden society with waste to dispose of.

Recycling a solar panel probably costs 10x the ex-factory price of a new Solar panel.

If any activity was economically viable it would happen without government intervention and free money.

Not what you posted. It's barely a test facility.

Now what really happens, your ABC tells us Rooftop solar produces clean energy but most panels end up in landfill despite being recyclable

They certainly do, the energy required to extract the recyclable parts actually cost more to the environment than just dumping them I'm told by a recycling business owner.

It's simply not cost effective.

I'm interested in the ho ha about these products.

My Home has a solar heart system on the roof that must be in it's third decade and still working well.

Are the new products now so completely crap you need to plan to junk them within five years?

Much like we can recycle plastic into oil... but we don't. There is a reason for that.
