No. They can be recycled. If they are broken, each piece will still work as a solar cell in many cases. It is even possible to home-make them out of copper foil, although they won't make as much power as factory-made ones. Silicon comes from sand, even beach sand, and most solar panels made today are mostly Silicon. Even if they are "used", they still produce very useful amounts of power in daylight, and people will still want them if they are taken out of service. I am writing about photovoltaic electric ones; but the solar panels for heating purposes can be made out of materials from a home improvement store, such as Plumbing pipes and duct metal.
