Potentially less net resource use

# data[].attributes.body
less maintenance cost

# data[].attributes.body
who gonna recycle, I am lazy

# data[].attributes.body
Less Material used if design life is extended

# data[].attributes.body
heavy initial research costs

# data[].attributes.body
improving the design life of PV will reduce landfill and new inputs into the linear economy (i.e. no subsitute for first-use solar panels)

# data[].attributes.body
Materials will be saved as opposed to being recycled and potentially being less effective

# data[].attributes.body
current recycling technology and the utility rate is low

# data[].attributes.body
Hard to recycle

Risk of contamination (construction materials are toxic)

# data[].attributes.body
better designs, more competitive product

# data[].attributes.body
requires technological innovation to be reused as solar panels, and no other paths to be recycled

# data[].attributes.body
requires a lot of innovation

# data[].attributes.body
Because Solar Panels are popular and are multimaterial there will be difficulties in recycling them as their usage and production increases

# data[].attributes.body
more efficient creation of power?

# data[].attributes.body
An elongated design life does not negate the potentially recycling PVs

# data[].attributes.body
greater energy efficiency, longer lifespan

# data[].attributes.body
Environmental viability

# data[].attributes.body
Less toxic chemicals put into landfill, opportunity to recover valuable materials, creates green jobs

# data[].attributes.body
Increasing design life might lead to lower consumption rates, and that may mean less materials going to waste?

# data[].attributes.body
maintenance costs potentially

# data[].attributes.body
Will need to recycle in the end anyways

# data[].attributes.body
panels will still require routine maintenance

# data[].attributes.body
Solar panels will always have a limited lifespan, so recycling methods will apply to 100% of the market. Research into prolonging the lifespan may improve performance by a few years but if they are all being disposed of anyway, recycling is a much larger opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
Reuse and recovery of materials for either future solar panel products, or other products requirement same/similar materials

# data[].attributes.body
Up to 95 % of the materials used to make solar panels can be recycled, and these extracted materials can be used for the same (i.e., the construction of more solar panels) or for other purposes.

# data[].attributes.body
Because solar panels are made of metals we cannot afford to simply dump them into landfill

# data[].attributes.body
In regards to existing solar panels: short term redesigning the solar panels is too big of a job and most people won't get new solar panels if they are existing users.

# data[].attributes.body
potential better long term financial benefit (initial capital of buying & installing solar panels can be quite expensive), providing more savings over time (also providing reduced need for repairs or replacement)

# data[].attributes.body
Financial barriers to recycling. Who is going to pay for it? Not me

# data[].attributes.body
largely individual household-based, and not energy dense enough to meet greater community consumption needs (comparatively to other fuel sources, renewable or non-renewable)
