Implementing a circular approach to panel management is crucial for ensuring the long-term sustainability of solar energy. The goal of the CircSolar project is to develop a proposal for a new national system for the circular management of solar panels.
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.
The uneven distribution of solar resources in China determines that a large number of PV systems are installed in the north and north-west regions of China (almost 40%), as presented by our results, and far from PV manufacturing bases which are mostly in east China .
Over recent decades, China has risen to a preeminent global position in both solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption and production, a feat underpinned by a suite of pivotal policy measures. With a burgeoning demand for PV systems on the horizon, there is an urgent need to reassess past policies and chart new directions.
Zhong Dalong, chief technology officer for solar energy at the National Institute of Clean and Low-Carbon Energy, said the influx of PV waste may happen earlier in China because some companies are likely to decommission low-efficiency panels before they reach their expiry date, because land for solar development is becoming increasingly scarce.
With the largest installed solar PV capacity worldwide since 2015 and a dominant position in PV product manufacturing and export, the industry continues to expand. Even in the pursuit of carbon neutrality, China's potential for PV growth remains significant.

Thus, the goal of this research roadmap is to facilitate and accelerate the transition to a solar PV CE by 1) highlighting current opportunities for PV value chain stakeholders to adopt circular strategies and 2) assessing research and development (R&D) needs that can be addressed in the short term to advance a CE for the solar industry.
damaged panels, it is important that the circular economy for PV systems in Australia does not become "locked-in" to recycling as the only end-of-life pathway and lose the potential for higher order recovery afforded by refurbishment, re-use as well as more advanced recycling technologies. This document summarises the potential re-use pathways in a circular economy …
Our findings indicate that China''s PV wastes will increase sharply by ~130 times, reaching 26 million tons by 2050. The hotspots of PV plant decommissioning will first appear in Northwest around...
Literature on solar circular strategies and business models . Recycling is considered the default pathway for decommissioned PV to date, as PV panels contain critical raw materials, toxic materials, and precious materials such as silver, high-grade silicon, lead, and solar-grade glass. An important burden to date is the laminated sandwich structure of panels …
Additionally, China''s solar panel overcapacity, exacerbated by international sanctions, has led to a significant drop in the price of Chinese-made solar panels. As a result, Chinese manufacturers have flooded markets like Pakistan with cheaper panels, further incentivizing households and businesses to adopt solar energy to escape rising electricity costs.
As the world''s largest manufacturer of solar panels, China has been injecting powerful impetus into global solar energy development. Thanks to devoting a great deal of …

A report by the International Energy Agency, or IEA, on the future of renewable energy production has pinpointed China, and in particular its solar power capabilities, as leading the way for the world in the years to come.
China''s central role in the expansion of global solar power capacity is well understood: Its dominance of the industrial chain from the production to installation to repair of panels globally is such that Western trade bodies have pressed policymakers to slap tariffs on Chinese solar companies. Analysts fret that Chinese "overcapacity" in the country''s solar …
The widespread deployment of solar PV technology, facilitated by China''s manufacturing capabilities, has been a crucial factor in advancing the transition to low-carbon energy systems. This has contributed to the collective efforts aimed at limiting global temperature rise and mitigating the impacts of climate change, in line with the ...

The lifespan of a solar panel is about 30 years, and currently there are few panels ready for recycling, but in 15-20 years a lot of solar panels will have reached end-of-life. The CircSolar project gathers the entire value chain to propose a national infrastructure for the circular management of solar panels in Sweden. The proposed solution ...
Our conclusion is that an Australian solar panel with at least 50 per cent of components by value made or derived in Australia, could kickstart a Circular Solar ecosystem. If we could produce half of the components of a solar panel in Australia, we''d not only control the quality of the panel, but we''d ensure no forced labour in the supply chains and a recycling …
