What happens to solar panels when they reach the end of their life?

Collecting old solar panels is only the beginning. Effective recycling involves several stages to separate materials including glass, aluminium, copper and silicon-rich fractions for further recovery.

With NSW considering a new solar panel stewardship scheme, having the right recycling infrastructure in place is becoming increasingly important.
