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.
7. Conclusions This review highlights the critical importance of managing photovoltaic (PV) waste to ensure the sustainability of solar energy systems. As solar PV deployment continues to grow globally, addressing the environmental impact of PV waste is crucial.
End-of-life (EOL) solar panels may become a source of hazardous waste although there are enormous benefits globally from the growth in solar power generation. Global installed PV capacity reached around 400 GW at the end of 2017 and is expected to rise further to 4500 GW by 2050.
Solar PV is gaining increasing importance in the worldwide energy industry. Consequently, the global expansion of crystalline photovoltaic power plants has resulted in a rise in PV waste generation. However, disposing of PV waste is challenging and can pose harmful chemical effects on the environment.
The rapid deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems underscores their potential as vital clean energy solutions with reduced carbon emissions and increasingly competitive installation costs. This review examines PV waste management from a sustainable perspective, focusing on environmental impacts and technological advancements.
Thin-film PV panel recycling process. The recycling procedures such as Shredding, crushing, separators, conveyors, mixers, and Pumps are involved in the energy management system with engineered smart control. The Role of PLC- PLC Communication and PLC- Drive communication is essential for higher savings ( Gopalamma and Naik, 2019 ).
