This research provides a comprehensive analysis of End-of-Life (EoL) management for crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) panels, highlighting both challenges and opportunities. The results indicate sustainable options for managing PV panels beyond recycling.
The rapid expansion of solar photovoltaic (SPV) deployment has created an urgent challenge of managing end-of-life (EoL) panels. Global capacity surpassed the terawatt scale in 2022 and is projected to exceed 14 TW by 2050, generating more than 70 million tonnes of cumulative waste.
