?? Most solar panels are 95% recyclable—yet the majority still end up in landfills. ?? By 2037, the U.S. will discard over 100 million solar panels annually, a massive missed opportunity for material recovery and domestic supply chain resilience. The reason? It’s still cheaper to landfill a panel than to recycle it. Electra is solving this by building a scalable, trackable, and financially sustainable system for solar panel stewardship. Our latest feature in the MCJ newsletter dives into why solar recycling isn’t scaling—and how we can fix it. With shifting policies, growing energy demands, and supply chain uncertainties, circularity isn’t just a sustainability goal—it’s a strategic necessity. ??

?? Most solar panels are 95% recyclable, yet a majority end up in landfills. Estimates suggest that by 2037, the U.S. will discard 100 million+ panels annually. That’s a massive missed opportunity. The problem? It’s cheaper to dump a panel ($1-$5) than recycle it ($15-$30). ?? In this week's MCJ newsletter, Heather Alvis, Founder & CEO of Electra Network, explains why solar recycling isn’t scaling—and how we can fix it. With shifting policies and rising energy demands, solar circularity isn’t just good for the planet—it’s a strategic necessity. ??
