When rooftop solar panels can no longer generate electricity efficiently, and when photovoltaic modules in power stations have completed their ten- or even twenty-year mission, they shouldn't become forgotten "environmental burdens". Retired solar panels hold hidden resource value waiting to be awakened, and they also connect to the future of a closed-loop green energy system. Did you know that in a standard solar panel, more than 90% of the glass, 80% of the aluminum frames, and high-purity silicon materials can be "reborn" through professional recycling technologies? The glass can be processed into building materials, the aluminum frames can be directly melted and reused, and the silicon wafers can be purified and even returned to photovoltaic production lines to become new power generation panels. However, if they are discarded carelessly, heavy metals like lead and cadmium may seep into soil and water sources, turning these once "green heroes" into environmental hazards. Solar panel recycling is not just the responsibility of one party: ▶ Household photovoltaic users: If your solar panels have reached the end of their lifespan, don't let them sit idle in the corner. Contact a formal recycling agency to put these resources back into circulation. ▶ Photovoltaic companies: Please join the recycling system construction to reduce recycling costs with technology, ensuring that every retired panel can be "fully utilized". ▶ The general public: Show more concern and share this information widely to let more people know that the "new home" of retired solar panels is the recycling workshop, not the landfill. From absorbing sunlight to generate electricity to recycling and repurposing into new resources, every solar panel's life cycle should continue to carry the warmth of sustainability. Let's work together to recycle retired solar panels, so that the radiance of green energy can forever illuminate a sustainable tomorrow!
