6 FAQs about [Technical Specifications for the Treatment of End-of-Life Photovoltaic Panels]

What are the end-of-life treatment requirements for PV panels?

Apart from in the EU, end-of-life treatment requirements across the world for PV panels are set by waste regulations applying generically to any waste rather than dedicated to PV. Waste regulations are based on the classification of waste.

What is end-of-life management for PV panels?

End-of-life management for PV panels will spawn new industries, can support considerable economic value creation, and is consistent with a global shift to sustainable long-term development. New industries arising from global PV recycling can yield employment opportunities in the public and private sectors.

Are end-of-life photovoltaic panels harmful to the environment?

In this framework, some issues concerning the end of life photovoltaic panels must be taken into account to definitively assess the environmental impact of PV technology, including the consumption of energy and reagents, and the emissions of pollutants that can be generated by the recycling and recovery processes ( Tammaro et al., 2015 ).

What is the life cycle of PV panels?

All waste management approaches follow the life cycle stages of a given product. Figure 11 displays how for PV panels the life cycle starts with the extraction of raw materials (cradle) and ends with the disposal (grave) or reuse, recycling and recovery (cradle).

What is the expected life of a photovoltaic (PV) module?

The expected life of photovoltaic (PV) modules is 10–20 years as solar modules degrades over the course of time. This degradation is mainly due to the water ingress, ultra violet (UV) rays exposure and temperature stress. The module failure indicators

How are end-of-life PV panels processed?

End-of-life PV panels are thus typically processed in existing general recycling plants. Here, the mechanical separation of the major components and materials of PV panels is the focus. This still achieves high material recovery by panel mass even although some higher value materials (that are small in mass) may not fully be recovered.
