Why do you think this have you looked at solar?
1 how long do solar panels last? 20-30 years with proper maintenance.
2 how much does it cost to recycle a solar panel? costs anywhere from $20 to $30 to recycle a single solar panel, and the recovered materials are worth just $2 to $4. Meanwhile, sending a solar panel to a landfill only costs a dollar or two.
3 wind power how long do wind mills last. 20-40 years only produce based on amount of wind. Typically the better choice.
4 the one no one is talking about Nuclear energy Is by far the cheapest and most reliable.
5 hydro electric These are extremely expensive to create but typical lifespan is 50 to a 100 years. Very few are currently being built and many are being taken off line and the dam removed.

@Spotpot it is not there and the waste and cost from some does not promote the recycling
