Environmental and Economic Aspects Photovoltaic (PV) recycling is a multi-faceted approach, intertwined with various environmental considerations that are central to sustainable practices within the solar industry . At the core of PV recycling lies the conservation of resources.
Many reactants are used in the chemical treatment of photovoltaic panels, especially when the objective is the recovery of metals or the reuse of the wafers.
Raising consumer awareness is crucial to increasing the uptake and support of photovoltaic (PV) cell recycling initiatives as well as for the save collection of used lithium ion batteries. Educational campaigns targeting both the general public and specific consumer segments should be included.
Therefore, the methods of dealing with solar PV waste material, principally by recycling need to be established by 2040. By recycling solar PV panels EOL and reusing them to make new solar panels, the actual number of waste (i.e., not recycled panels) could be considerably reduced.
Recycling processes for various PV technologies are still underdeveloped . Although recycling of mono- or multi-crystalline silicon is advanced, other thin films, such as CdTe, have room for improvement . Recycling technologies for newer generation materials are still in early stages .
In general, recycling of PV cells is complicated, either due to the fact that the materials to be recovered are in low concentration in the modules, or due to lack of logistics in the collection of panels since they are dispersed geographically ( Masoumian and Kopacek, 2015 ).
