Simple economics, for many things the cost to recycle is greater than the value of the materials recovered.

Solar module recycling is fairly infantile right now. Mostly because they don't just crap out at 25 years but continue to produce at a lower level. Therefore, many are left in place since they've been paid off 2-3X already and its free power at that point. The other big driver for a need would be unit failures and they just don't have a high enough failure rate to create a market.

Did you ever look into the disposal/remediation clauses and or bonding in the contracts?
