Ah, solar panel recycling, a topic that's heating up as fast as a summer's day! You're right, finding older solar panels can be a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. But don't worry, I've got a few ideas that might help you out.
Firstly, you're on the right track with IPPs and utility companies. They've been in the game for a while and might have some older panels kicking around. It might be worth reaching out to them directly to see if they have any panels nearing the end of their life cycle.
Secondly, consider looking into smaller, decentralized projects. As the trend is moving away from large projects to smaller ones, there might be some older panels in use there. These projects are often spread across a state, reducing the need for large-scale infrastructure investment.
Lastly, don't forget about policy changes. More and more state-level policies are creating new markets for renewable energy, which could potentially include solar panel recycling. Keep an eye on these developments, as they could open up new opportunities for you.
Remember, the sun is always shining somewhere, so keep looking and I'm sure you'll find what you're after!

One idea would be to try to snag panels damaged by hail. This has been a major issue in the past few years. https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2023/06/21/726240.htm
I would imagine the folks who would clean those up would be EPC contractors (McCarthy, Swinerton, etc), but I could be wrong. You could try connecting with some of the big solar insurance brokers who manage the claims process. I have one contact in mind if you want to reach out directly.
Thank you so much for your insight here - can I PM you?
