Australian Solar Panels’ Midlife Crisis

Australians have been installing solar panels in record numbers – and, alarmingly, removing those panel prematurely.

Charles Darwin University’s Deepika Mathur studies sustainability and waste management in regional areas, including the waste associated with removing solar panels in “mid-life”.

Dr. Mathur joined Lawrence on On the Record to discuss why Australians are ditching their solar panels early, and why it’s such a problem.
