Basically there does not appear to be enough panels to recycle:

"As Europe generates increasing amounts of solar panel waste – projected to reach between 1 and 4 million tons annually by 2030 – the potential for recycled silicon seems promising. Yet, even if we were to recycle all available silicon, this would only yield between 40,000 and 160,000 tons of silicon annually."

"Given that Europe is expected to need around 2 million tons of silicon by 2030, recycled silicon would merely cover between 2 and 8 percent of our demand."
