Didn’t a solar farm in the west just get hammered by a hail storm?

In Nebraska, beginning of last month. Got hit with baseball-sized hail.

I should have posted this paragraph in the OP, on second glance (I split it in two for clarity):

By 2050, solar waste will total some 78 million tons globally, said Mool Gupta, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Virginia.

The reason recycling and recovery isn’t robust yet, Gupta said, is that companies struggle to justify the $30 per panel cost when it costs only $1 to send it to a landfill. …

No explanation for the disparity in costs.
