They were $25k and the company financed them 0% interest for 10 years. She said they last 10 years and will then need to replace them. Her financed monthly amount is $208 per month - much more than my power bill.

Math is hard.
Glass is made from sand, the most common element on earth and available almost free. Why would anyone be stupid enough to spend money to grind up the glass and turn it back into sand?
It’s actually just a rendering of a solar farm in Australia.....but that’s the plan and I fully expect it to come to fruition.
I don’t know how they can call that clean energy. I guess they don’t know what goes into making solar panels and then every 20-30 years, what it takes to recycle them.
I can’t imagine the cost to replace every panel in this array.
IMHO, off grid is the only location that makes sense for solar.
Wouldn’t be cheaper to grind up the panels into dust and separate by composition (glass in one pile, copper in another, etc...)?
The neighbor told me they were 10 yr solar panels and that they would have to be replaced then. I am sure the solar panel companies have made adjustments so they HAVE to be replaced much like the kitchen appliances that used to last decades but only last a few years now.
