[RE-wrenches] solar panel recycling

2022-08-17 Thread jay via RE-wrenches
Hi All,

Some asked me a question about recycling of panels and I can’t exactly find out 
the answer.

The companies here in the US that “recycle”.  
If I understand it right, they are:

1. removing the aluminum frames

2. grinding up the panels

3. removing the wires

Then I don’t know what happens, do they go to China for melting down or?

thanks in advance

Jay
