Could just use them for fence or sunshade on your property somewhere where they're not getting optimal sun. I mean if the other option is to throw them away might aswell.
a degraded panel in a suboptimal position is probably not worth the effort to install and the resources that would go into supporting it.
a better re-use case would be one where the downsides aren't exacerbated but a new build panel isn't justified. also solar panels are supposedly highly recyclable.
