Should we expect more second hand solar panels on the market at lower prices because of this ? Should be obvious but what do I know ?

As more of anything is out there, more will be for sale used, but how badly will anyone want them? They degrade over time and installing is a huge cost. How much are you willing to pay for mismatched used solar panels from a 15 year old system?

Might be interesting for a “do it yourself” project, from someone after retirement who has enough land space. But only if the price is low enough.

More like 60 cents. Also the modern panels tend to produce more power per square foot than secondhand panels. And they often come with a warranty between 25 and 40 years which you won’t get secondhand.
