You’re grasping at straws to support a failed technology.
Tell that to the Finns or French.
You're linking me "can do" articles. The industry itself states there's not enough data:

Solar photovoltaic (PV) installations must be properly dismantled and any waste treated and disposed at the end of project life. However, because most of the world’s nearly 400 GW of PV systems have been built in the past decade – each expected to operate for between 20 and 30 years – current PV module waste volumes do not yet justify widespread operation of PV recycling facilities.
It is indeed an unfair comparison, because there's not enough data to compare.
I don't see anywhere where the cost of all of this is factored into solar/wind. Neither can you, because probably no one knows at this point.
