Storms Are Turning Solar Farms into Sudden Waste Streams
Original: When Storms Turn Solar Farms into Sudden Waste Streams
Hail, hurricanes and other extreme weather are damaging solar farms at scale, shattering panels and converting renewable infrastructure into sudden streams of broken glass, silicon and metal waste.

Why now: Growing storm damage to solar installations is drawing attention to panel waste and recycling gaps.
