This waste cannot become major problem and it cannot lead to financial challenge to introduce recycling method for PV panels (Policy Brief et al. 2016). Hazardous waste (HW) and non-hazardous waste (non-HW) are the classifications of PV module, it varies with policy of the country (Irena 2016; Fthenakis 2004).
The four key recommendations to tackle challenges in photovoltaic (PV) recycling are as follows: promote design for recycling (DfR); data availability; advance policy; and incentivize upcycling. DfR concepts need to be incorporated in the design phase and can be explored through innovations in the frame, material choices and module lamination 111.
This research provides a comprehensive analysis of End-of-Life (EoL) management for crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) panels, highlighting both challenges and opportunities. The results indicate sustainable options for managing PV panels beyond recycling.
Solar panels waste is an emerging issue in coming future. Categorization of solar panels along with their components. Recovery from crystalline and thin film solar panels are evaluated from literature. Challenges faced during recycling has been reviewed and reported.
