PV recycling challenges unlikely to be the same everywhere

A research team of scientists from Australia and Japan has developed correlation and spatial validation models to characterize the relationships between economic, social, geographical, and climatic features and PV decommissioning dynamics, including PV waste generation and PV lifespan. "Most studies on end-of-life solar panels focus on how much waste will be generated and when it will appear," said corresponding author Jian Zuo to pv magazine. "Our research goes one step further by asking why these patterns differ across regions. Instead of only projecting future PV waste, we investigated how ...
