Easy Solar Panel Recycling in South Africa
South Africa is using more and more solar power. This is great for our energy. But what happens to solar panels when they get old? Many old panels are now ready to be thrown away. We must do solar panel recycling the right way. This is a big rule for all businesses and solar owners in South Africa.
New Rules for Old Solar Panels
In South Africa, old solar panels are considered hazardous e-waste. You cannot just throw them in the trash or a dump. The government has new rules called EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility). These rules stipulate that companies must maintain their products, even when they are outdated. You need a licensed partner to follow these rules. This keeps you safe from legal problems and helps the planet.
