Circular System for Solar Panels: Propose a concrete system for the circular management of solar panels, including business models and policies that support the transition to a resource-efficient and circular lifecycle for solar panels.
Circular economy principles for solar photovoltaics In addition to delivering electricity to the grid, solar energy generation is expected to play a critical role in achieving deep electricity decarbonization and support economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions through electrification of other sectors.
However, opportunities for other circularity strategies, such as repair and reuse of PV panels that have not yet reached their technical lifetime [6, 17, 18], as well as the potential of digital platforms to foster data-enhanced circular practices in the solar PV industry have only recently received increased attention.
Moving forward, co-ordinated actions – such as establishing efective end-of-life strategies, advancing technology readiness and leveraging policy support – will be essential in creating a robust circular economy framework that sustains the growth and sustainability of the solar PV sector.
