First Solar has announced every manufacturing line of First Solar panels will be powered by solar PV by 2028. First Solar has announced they will have about 500MW of First Solar Panel recycling ready sometime in 2023. Have not heard mention of First Solar’s intent on recycling their panels using solar PV to drive the process. In the utility sector, First Solar has their framless panel products that can be ground and mined for making new panels. Imagine a company that manufactures solar PV products using these same products to power the manufacturing line. Imagine the same technology powering the recycling tranche of the operations and now imagine the overall carbon footprint to manufacture and recycle solar PV panels. How low can one go per watt in panel pricing?
