Free QuoteConclusion 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.
This new European regulation is favorably changing the way the PV industry currently perceives the EoL of PV panels (PV CYCLE, 2014). It also triggered an interest in current recycling technologies and the future material recovery of PV panels (Contreras-Lisperguer et al., 2017).
Consequently, one of the biggest challenges when evaluating the life cycle environmental impacts of a PV panel is the lack of reliable Life Cycle Inventories (LCI) and the reduced number of LCA studies modeling the EoL phase with disaggregated data.
Despite the clear environmental benefits documented in various studies, the economic viability of PV panel recycling remains a significant barrier. D'Adamo et al. focuses on the uncertainty of PV recycling profitability.
At present, there has been no report on the environmental impacts of the second-life use of waste PV panels. This study focuses on the environmental impact of landfill disposal and recycling. The studies used a range of impact categories to quantify the environmental impact of recycling.
Environmental impacts associated with the End-of-life (EoL) phase of PV panels, particularly a CLMC scenario, have not yet been evaluated. To this end, this article uses the Life Cycle Assessment methodology to compare a linear Open-Loop-Material-System (OLMS) scenario with a novel CLMC system.
