A German company figured out a safe and effective method to recover the silicon from used solar panels! They’re helping to produce the worlds first 100% recycled PV arrays 😎♥️

PERC Solar Cells from 100 Percent Recycled Silicon - Fraunhofer ISE Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and the largest German recycling company for PV modules, Reiling GmbH & Co. KG, have developed a solution, in which the silicon in the discarded modules was recycled on an industrial scale and reused to produce new PERC solar cells.

Thinking about a landscape upgrade at your property? Think ahead and keep your garden green!

There are smarter options than just putting in a water & cost intensive new lawn 🙂

Replace Lawn - UC Marin Master Gardeners Lawns are a landscape feature we've borrowed from areas where rain is more plentiful. They're great for kids and parks and ball fields, but problematic from an environmental perspective. If you aren't actively using your lawn, please consider replacing it with a more Earth-friendly option.
