The material came from the ground, and the landfill puts them back in the ground.

Sounds pretty circular and sustainable to me.



That's my point: we really don't need to recycle solar panels. We could land fill them for the next 500 years and they'll be the least of our problems, even accounting for heavy metals.

The quip about "cheap" was that recyclability has nothing to do with it (it would likely add cost, not remove any).
