Do you have some resources about recycling of panels? I understand the point of the article is it's no longer the pressing issue it was once considered (by some), but I am curious if it's now just a delayed problem, or if recycling is a solved problem? Thanks!

Industrial scale recycling is both extant and has been mandatory in many countries for close to a decade http://www.solarwaste.eu/

I don't, and I don't care. I do know that if you took every single solar panel in California (~40GW worth) and just stacked them up 10 meters high, they would only occupy 250 acres. It's a non-problem.

Manufactured goods require resources and produce waste, film at 11.

They probably meant: "Oil companies once warned..."
