Do new solar modules with broken glass have any salvage value?

Do new solar modules with broken glass have any salvage value?

Aside from warranty, it that's applicable, probably not a lot. Maybe as a gifted tax deduction to some charitable outfit that trains folks in solar stuff pro bono,

In addition to the good chance that whatever broke the glass also damaged the rather brittle cells themselves, you will never be able to get a good water and vapor tight seal on any replacement glass. That means that the resulting repaired panel will not last more than a couple of years.

You tell us.

Salvage Glass = $2/ton
Salvaged Aluminum = $1100/ton.

Bet it will not pay for the gas to take it to a recycle center. 1 ton = 2000 pounds.
