Yes, solar panels are recyclable! Recycling plants across Australia recover materials like aluminium, glass, silicon, copper, and plastics so that old panels don’t end up in landfills. Proper recycling prevents harmful materials from leaching into the soil and groundwater.
Here’s how it works:
Currently, recycling costs around $10 per panel, plus freight, as the industry is still developing. Some companies, like Lotus Energy, provide nationwide recycling services, while others upcycle panels for new uses. In some cases, your solar installer may cover recycling costs as part of the upgrade or replacement process.

Yes, solar panels still work on cloudy days! While they produce less electricity compared to sunny days, they can generate around 25% to 40% of their normal output, depending on the thickness of the cloud cover and the quality of the panels.
Just like you can still get sunburnt on overcast days, solar panels can capture indirect sunlight and convert it into energy. Advanced panels, like those with backside mirrors or power optimisers, perform even better under partial shading caused by clouds.
