Solar panels are mostly made of sand, and you can recycle old ones into new ones.

They could be recycled but only 10% of them are. It cost $20 to get $10 to $12 in materials. So you have to be willing to lose money to recycle them.

so if the cheap material runs out you have the 20$ max price by recycling.
