Parameters of photovoltaic panels (PVPs) is necessary for modeling and analysis of solar power systems. The best and the median values of the main 16 parameters among 1300 PVPs were identified. The results obtained help to quickly and visually assess a given PVP (including a new one) in relation to the existing ones.
The lack of extensive data analysis on existing photovoltaic panels (PVPs) can lead to missed opportunities and benefits when optimizing photovoltaic power plant (PVPP) deployment solutions. The feasibility study of the PVPP requires accurate data on PVPs in order to fully unleash their potential.
The growth of the PVPP market determines the growth of photovoltaic panel (PVP) production. However, in each case, it is necessary to investigate the efficiency of PVPs and the overall performance of the systems in order to select the best PVPs for installation in a specific geographic location.
Some experimental tests on the composition of the panels have been performed within the FRELP project (and used as input for the current analysis). However the provision by the manufacturers of detailed information on the composition of the panels would help further optimise the recycling efficiency.
Therefore, solar PV panel EOL management is an evolving field that requires further research and development. The key aim of this study is to highlight an updated review of the waste generation of solar panels and a sketch of the present status of recovery efforts, policies on solar panel EOL management and recycling.
Industrial solar panels can be classified either by design features (standard design of a rigid solar battery, rigid and flexible panels made using various types of semiconductors) or by the type of working photovoltaic layer. In terms of the latter, there are the following classifications:
