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.

Once the semiconductor is extracted from the PV module, silicon wafers undergo a chemical process to yield silicon ingots and powder. The renewable energy sector demonstrates its dedication to sustainable waste management by recycling crystalline silicon solar cells from PV modules.
When crystalline silicon photovoltaic (c-Si PV) panels are end-of-life treated, important components including aluminum, copper, and steel must be carefully separated and recovered. Component separation is the term for the thermal procedure that is usually used to separate these components [ 40 ].
Therefore, the purpose for recycling c-Si modules is to divide the c-Si glass and to recover the Si cells and other metals. The method incorporated in recycling Si-based PV panels is to separate the layers, which necessitates removing the encapsulant from the panel and the Si cells to recover the metals .
Another successful fragmenting treatment is waterjet-cutting (Palitzsch et al., al.,2020). In this process, a waterjet system scrapes away the silicon layers with the EVA while keeping the module glass intact and clean. The fragmented solar cell and EVA mixtures undergo subsequent sorting and extractions to recover high-purity materials.
