Used solar panels sold on Facebook and eBay have cult following

Quick Summary:

As factories turn out more and more new panels, the supply of used ones increases in turn.

Its parent company, Fabtech Solar Solutions, runs a solar recycling business that takes panels from decommissioned projects and tests them for quality.

An average US household needs about 11 kilowatts to cover its electricity usage, and a system of that size with new panels typically costs around $20,500 to install after federal tax credits, according to data from EnergySage.
