I use CL, 25 to 75 ea. Inverters that work 200 to 250,. With bad modules l take the frames off and they go to a recycling facility that will take them but at a cost, usually 25 ea. Land fills do not except panels any more. I have had better luck selling mono's then poly's, LG, Sharp 175/185's these go quick, don't even try to sell Trina, BP, Suntec or brands l would never sell new. Had a school that wanted some but l had to pay them a scrap charge so that did not happen. Fun times
