There are no doubts that some parts (glass, aluminium) can be recycled. The BIG doubt is IF they are actually recycled (as in the main article probably largely "downcycled"). As per the EPA site (and also the other thread I linked to), they are NOT recycled (at the moment), or - even if they are - they are not - yet - recycled on a large scale. Here it is an article by MIT (2021) stating how only about 10% of discarded panels are recycled: https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/08/19/1032215/solar-panels-recycling/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/08/19/1032215/solar-pa... and, soon, the amount of discarded panels is going to increase.
