Both of those statements are false. Not everything in a solar panel and not every battery is recyclable. Some of the raw materials are sure

Plastic is made of oil and is sometimes recyclable

We're talking about oil and gas for energy, not construction. 99% of battery materials can be turned into new batteries. The only reason most haven't been recycled is that they're still in use.
Show me 1 gallon of recycled* fossil fuels and I might change my mind.

Fossil fuels that have been burned for energy then recycled back into fuel to be burned again, not vegetable oil diesel or plastic that hasn't been burned.
