It has 40% of a crystal solar cell's service life, but I'll also wager it has far less than a crystal solar cell's mass, being a printing press technology. That should be a net gain for landfilling.
Not to worry though. If these are used in any kind of large installations then the scrap value of the expired cells will be part of their profit. At the very least they might be fuel for cement kilns. If they can burn tires (when not in anyone's backyard) then thin sheets of plastic should be easy.
