Photovoltaic (PV) waste generation across provinces in China by technology in 2050 (unit: 10 9 kg). a-f. PV wastes in provinces in the Northern, Eastern, Southern, Northwestern, Northeastern and Central regions, respectively.
In China, PV recycling operations are predominantly governed by the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environment Pollution Caused by Solid Wastes.
This study conducts a comparative analysis and validation of four methodologies in forecasting PV installations, and subsequently forecasts the volume of PV waste in China, projecting an estimated 6.24 million tons by 2050. Nevertheless, the nation still lacks a comprehensive system for recycling PV waste and the requisite management expertise.
In China, the photovoltaic waste stream was quantified as 48.67–60.78 million t in 2050. In photovoltaic waste, indium, selenium, cadmium, and gallium were in high risk, judging by the metal criticality analysis, which meant that their recovery was significant to alleviate the resource shortage.

This study projects the amount of PV waste expected to accumulate in China, India, Germany, Japan, and the USA by 2050, given the fact that they have been the leading markets for installing solar PV panels. Therefore, these five countries provide a valuable case study for understanding the global challenge of managing end-of-life PV waste. This ...
In this study, PV waste mass generation is projected for 2030 and 2050 based on the historical data of cumulative PV capacity and the targets of National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) for China, USA, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, the EU as a whole, the United Kingdom and some South American countries such as Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
Our results indicate that the European Union would generate more than 710 000 tonnes of cumulative PV waste mass in 2030, followed by China with around 265 000 tonnes, and the USA with 147 000 tonnes. This implies that in order to treat waste and also provide raw materials for the PV industry, the EU needs to become a stakeholder in the ...
