Today is “Removing Old Solar Panels Day”. Have to admit, that’s a first for me. Preparing the way for a huge panel upgrade and I need that roof space!

@chidgey How does one responsibly dispose of solar panels? Never really thought about it. Are you old panels old enough that their efficiency has really dropped off?

@jasonetheridge They’re 10 years old and still running about 90% efficiency, and originally I wanted to keep them. However the solar planned pointed out that roof space on my house is at a premium and the newer panels are 35% more efficient for the same physical area. Hence, I’m upgrading them :)

@chidgey Thanks John. Elon was the impetus, but I'm liking it. 😄
