'Without recycling, Mr Hill said "pretty much all" the good created by using solar panels was undone by the waste they created,'.

How does that work? Glass in a dump is not particularly harmful. If minerals were refined using solar power to make panels, then AGW is not up. Oz is starting to use solar for refining aluminium, a large consumer of electrical energy.

My parents, whose home I will likely inherit, will be pleased to see this happen.
