Starting October 1, Alberta will prohibit solar panels from being disposed in landfills. Instead, they must be recycled or reused. A $14 recycling fee per panel will be implemented, with the government aiming to manage over 72,000 tonnes of waste by 2045. The move has been criticized by the renewable energy sector as putting solar power at a competitive disadvantage.
