Russian scientists turn old solar panels into silicon carbide

Original: Russian scientists create process to recycle solar panels into silicon carbide | TV BRICS, 10.10.26

Russian scientists have developed a process to recycle end-of-life solar panels into silicon carbide, a valuable industrial material. The method could address a growing waste problem as early solar installations reach retirement age, while recovering high-value material instead of sending panels to landfill.

Why now: Solar panel waste is a rising concern as the first generation of installations reaches end of life, making recycling breakthroughs timely.
