Ep 29: Interview with Brett Henderson, CEO of SolarPanelRecycling.com, on solar panel recycling
Solar panels make clean energy, but are they actually green at the end of their life? Right now very few recyclers globally and in the U.S. can truly recycle solar panels into clean commodities. In the next few years, as first generation solar panel farms start getting repowered, millions of tons of material will need to go somewhere. We speak with Brett Henderson, CEO and Co-Founder of SolarPanelRecycling.com, on the brand new recycling technologies they are developing to make sure all the parts of solar panels can be separated with low energy processes. He tells us about the challenges of recycling and predictions that landfills may not have the capacity for this massive new waste stream. We discuss upcoming legislation at federal, state, and local levels to address this challenge. Brett gives us practical tips on what we can do to make sure getting clean energy from solar panels is truly good for the planet.
