That could be true also.
I’ll need to check with a family member.
They have a system installed in their home, and they should
have some idea regarding the battery degradation.

Yes, it should. Other than the business end of things, it
may have been around, but the price-point would seem to have
made it a pretty hard sell back then.

Thanks. Were you noticing a lot of them being sold, or did
you just see them around once in a while?

I think we’re to involved with the pucker factor, to let these
cells just go to a land fill. Your idea is another, and I
can see some ways to get rid of them so they don’t stay
in land fill also.

I noticed them slowly appearing on more and more rooftops - again, usually businesses or larger apartments though they did occasionally appear on single family home rooftops too. It wasn’t rapid, but the adoption rate was noticeable.

One thing I do recall from that time period, though, were the solar PV farms being announced - so those will be a large contributor to defunct panel disposal problems at this point, as we’re now 30 years on...

The blades are coming from China. Why do you think Canada will accept blades for disposal on Canadian soil??

Well the blades the jackasses were getting in Arizona when I was there were from Canada. Sorry I upset you.
