I think we should also consider its durability because who has the patience to reset the panels on the roof or anywhere for that matter. I also doubt their efectiveness. CAn not be sure though. I was also in a dilemma to determine if I can build a solar panel myself after reading this > dess.me/GrnEn

With a shorter life, the cost of disposal or recycling (including energy spent) should be taken into account in comparisons. On the other hand, I wonder if grinding up the coated panels and reusing them would in effect infuse the plastic with the photovoltaic material. If it’s still photovoltaic at that point, would it improve the efficiency once it’s formed again and re-coated? In any case, does the optical clarity of the plastic substrate matter make a difference?

That’s absolutely incredible. I can’t believe the things we can do these days.
