Alberta introduces $10 fee to fund solar panel recycling
Original: Alberta adds $10 fee to new solar panels to fund first-of-its-kind recycling in North America
Alberta is adding a $10 fee to new solar panels to pay for what is described as North America's first solar panel recycling program. The fee is meant to ensure old panels are properly recycled rather than sent to landfill as installations age. The move is drawing attention as an early example of how jurisdictions plan to handle end-of-life renewable energy equipment.
Why now: It is a first-of-its-kind policy in North America addressing solar panel waste.
