Environment and Protected Areas is seeking input from stakeholders and Indigenous communities and organizations to support the identification of policy options and programs to address end-of-life management of solar panels. These options would be complementary to the Alberta Recycling Management Authorities (ARMA) work on designing and implementing a stewardship program for solar panels.
Specifically, this engagement is an opportunity to provide Environment and Protected Areas with Alberta-specific context input on:
- the opportunities and challenges associated with recycling and reusing solar panels,
- identifying the policy gaps that lead to landfill disposal instead of reuse and recycling, and
- the policy tools and programs that could address these gaps.
This feedback opportunity will be open from August 8 until September 21, 2025.
