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.
The waste from solar panel modules is expected to reach about 8600 tons by 2030 and it will further increase to 78 million tons by 2050. The waste solar panel should be discarded or recycled appropriately since the toxic substances released from them can affect human health and the environment.
The worldwide solar PV waste is estimated to reach around 78 million tonnes by 2050. The current status of the EOL PV panels are systemically reviewed and discussed. Policy formation involving manufacturer's liability to inspire recycling of waste solar panels. R&D needs acceleration allowing researchers to resolve issues in PV module recycling.
The process adopted for recycling discarded PV solar modules is simple and sustainable with no toxic by-product generation. The proposed process results in the stepwise separation of different components. Based on the research work carried out in this work following conclusions are made. 1.
Generations of photovoltaic technologies, namely crystalline silicon, thin-film, and third-generation solar panels, share the goal of achieving waste reduction through useful strategies for recovery of secondary raw materials from obsolete panels.
The extensive deployment of photovoltaic (PV) modules at an expeditious rate worldwide leads to a massive generation of solar waste (60–78 million tonnes by 2050). A stringent recycling effort to recover metal resources from end-of-life PVs is required for resource recovery, circular economy, and subsequent reduction of environmental impact.
