The show highlighted rooftop solar panels in Germany, explaining that the panels generated electricity to power the buildings and even earned the owners money by letting them sell extra energy back to the electricity company. Invented in 1983, PERCs are used today in nearly 90 percent of solar panels on the market.

Solar panels are built to last 25 years or more in all kinds of weather. But the sticky polymer is hard to separate from the silicon cells at the end of a solar panel’s life, making recycling the materials more difficult. National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) in Golden, Colorado say they’ve found a better way to seal solar modules.
