I just got a DIY kit quote for solar and it’s ~$18,000. That would mean a contractor installing is at least $25,000 if not more. That’s a big chunk of change upfront.

Lithium batteries are highly recyclable… The current rate is something like 60% recovery, and that is bound to increase over time.

Everything I’ve seen gives it a range between 25% and 96% depending on several factors. It seems like we’re still getting this all figured out and it’s early but if we can get closer to that upper limit it will make a huge difference when considering the impact of these batteries.
