Repairing broken glass before you even try to repair the broken glass on your solar panels make sure that the panel still works.
And because solar panels contain toxic materials like lead that can leach out as they break down landfilling also creates new environmental hazards.
Humanity has a two or three decade runway to learn how best to deal with solar panels at the end of their useful life but by 2050 it s expected solar panels will account for 60 million tons of waste.
When these panels enter landfills valuable resources go to waste.
