Solar Energy Waste Problem

Did you know that after a number of years you should replace your solar energy systems?

While Australia leads the way in solar energy take up and installations, we unfortunately don’t have a good system in place for recycling the obsolete equipment.

Currently there are 40,000 tonnes of solar equipment being thrown away every year and this could be recycled to remove valuable materials such as silver, glass, tin and copper.
