Sunshine State Gets Solar Savvy: Queensland Leads the Charge in Recycling Panels!

Move over, koalas – Queensland has a new claim to fame: Solar panel recycling champion!   This Aussie state is taking a giant leap forward in clean energy with a multi-million dollar investment in recycling programs. Let's break down the details:

Imagine all those rooftop solar panels soaking up sunshine for years. Eventually, they reach retirement age, but what happens then? Traditionally, they ended up in landfills. Not cool for the environment!

Queensland's innovative plan tackles this problem head-on. They're launching a national-first solar panel recycling pilot program
