The field of photovoltaic (PV) recycling faces several challenges that hinder its widespread adoption and effectiveness. The technological complexity arising from the diverse composition of PV modules is a major challenge.
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.
The efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) cells decreases with increasing temperature, which is due to the intrinsic physical properties of the semiconductors used in the cell. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the charge carriers (electrons and holes) within the PV cell increases.
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.
As the adoption of tandem PV cells increases, the development of effective recycling processes will become increasingly important to ensure that the environmental benefits of solar energy are maximised [49, 50].
In order to attain material sustainability, the PV industry must reduce Ag consumption per PV cell from 20 mg/W in 2019 to less than 5 mg/W in 2028, according to recent projections . This can be accomplished by using different printing methods or by using Cu and Al pastes in place of traditional Ag pastes [93, 94].
