Nielsen Notes Solar panels, vital to the renewable energy revolution, contain valuable materials such as silicon, aluminium, copper, silver, glass, and polymers. Yet, at the end of their lifespan—typically 25-30 years—most panels are discarded in landfills, wasting these critical resources. Researchers...
