They don't recycle easily at all. Lead, acid, sometimes plastic housing. It means they're the next rubber tyres. Billions and billions of tonnes of their waste is stacking up and won't be recycled for decades.
The other problem is their very shit lifetime. About 10 years, it is better to replace solar panels because the acid giving the charge gets more and more redundant, generating less and less charge.
They're a heap of shit. A consumption con. Another perishable product significantly wasting. They're made using fossil fuels. They last about a decade. No never three. They are entirely breakable, and completely fallible.
Wind turbines are significantly worse. They don't recycle.
People went for thousands of years powering their homes differently. They never had modern bullshit exploiting them. Crappy tech products last no lifetime producing endless waste and consumption.
What happened to the AGA? It is a far superior system. Now outlawed for more crap.
Home solar with batteries seems like a great way to get off the grid avoiding the inflation, government control, and deferred maintenance costs that are coming.
I have conclusive evidence that burning solar panels to produce power releases carbon dioxide and stinky smoke. But in scientific tests, burning spotted owls only releases a little CO2. I encourage the EPA to ban plastic forks and straws and replace them with titanium-lithium-plutonium which can be reused for generations.
I want to thank the Liberal Science Institute for inviting me to come here to Arkham Asylum to give this speech.
Hahaha. They're even worse than that.

I love solar.

I'll just cut out the middle man and burn tires for my heating.
Just pointing out the obvious here.
This is about the energy being produced by coal mining plants.
That energy will be recouped after a year or two of operation, these newer panels can last for decades, so in the long run it will make a difference.
What is this shit, big oil disguised as science?
Im more concerned about the waste that gets generated, but china doesnt really care about that shit. They just dump it in their lakes and rivers.
That politician who refused to jump in the river comes to mind.
