EU regulation forces manufacturers to recycle 95% of solar modules. At the same time they seem to age fairly well. With no moving parts the only really big problem are damage and loosing capacity. However degradation is between 0.5-0.8% per year. So even if you use 0.8% a 50 year old panel still has 66% of its original efficiency.
