BackgroundAre Solar Panels Hazardous Waste?Overview of Hazardous Waste RegulationsState Solar Panel End-Of Life PoliciesAdditional ResourcesFederal solid and hazardous waste regulations (i.e., the RCRA requirements) apply to solar panels when they are discarded. When a solar panel reaches the end of its usable life or is otherwise discarded, it becomes solid waste. Solid waste is regulated federally under RCRA Subtitle Dand through state and local government programs. The discarded sol...See more on epa.govnrel.gov
