A new report said that many solar panels damaged in a hail storm last month will likely end up in landfills.
Although some panels at the Scottsbluff Community Solar project in Nebraska will be usable, many will be too badly damaged, according to Cowboy State Daily.
According to CBS, more than 90 percent of panels are dumped in landfills when they are damaged, defective or reach the end of their usefulness. As of 2030, CBS said the panels will take up about 3,000 football fields worth of landfill space.
In late June a thunderstorm dumped baseball-sized hail on a solar farm at a speed of 150 mph — destroying the facility in just a few minutes.
3000 football fields of unrecyclable solar panels, how high? One panel high, 20 panels high, 100 panels high?? Sounds a little fishy to me. This renewable energy might not be all it’s cracked up to be. GO NUCLEAR
SOLVED, Lol
