Aloha! I’m Jason Wong, Principal Broker at Island Dragonfly. We all know Hawaii is leading the nation with our 100% renewable energy mandate by 2045. It’s one of the reasons living in paradise is so forward-thinking. But as a real estate professional with over 20 years in the Honolulu market, I’m seeing a “dirty little secret” hiding on our rooftops that could cost homeowners thousands.

In this video, we dive into the coming solar panel recycling crisis. Most solar panels have a lifespan of 20 to 25 years. With Hawaii’s solar boom, we are approaching a massive “retirement age” for these systems. From lead and cadmium concerns to the lack of local recycling plants, the logistics of “green” waste are getting complicated.

Whether you are buying a luxury estate in Kahala or a condo in Ala Moana, you need to ask: “Who is paying for the funeral?” of these solar panels. Is the $3,000 removal fee on you, or the leasing company?

Solar is a fantastic investment for your home value, but only if you know where the skeletons (or panels) are buried.
