Join the conversation as we sit down with Francis Willberg, a Photovoltaic Analysis Engineer with E3, who discusses the challenge of solar panel retirement. As we approach a staggering 1 million metric tons of photovoltaic waste by 2030, discover how the industry is grappling with the financial and technological puzzles that come with recycling the complex "panini-like" layers of PV modules. In this episode, Frances and Al Rettenmaier, host of the Top 3 by E3 podcast, reveal how the development of bifacial modules and the reuse of still-functional panels can play pivotal roles in propelling us toward less waste.  Learn about the proactive measures that are being taken to design new modules that are easier to recycle and how efficiency, reuse, and advanced recycling methods are steps helping with this effort.
