Solar Panel Recycling Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028, Segmented By Process (Thermal, Mechanical, and Laser), By Type (Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline, Thin Film), By Region, By Competition

Global Solar Panel Recycling

With the growing development of the solar panel industry and environment-friendly disposal of solar panels and its electronic components is increasingly becoming an essential concern and as part of the emerging electronic waste industry, recycling becomes an emerging solution.

Solar panel wastes are harmful and hazardous and it should be managed according to all applicable hazardous waste laws and regulations. The transition to renewable energy is driven largely by solar energy, but there is an issue that recycling solar panels is a complex solution. However, to avoid a solar trash wave, it is critical to find a way to recycle the panels.

The use of renewable and sustainable energy has been carefully planned to significantly reduce environmental degradation and control climate change. Moreover, the development and installation of PV panels in industrial basins, irrigation tanks, and drinking water tanks to prevent environmental impacts, particularly those associated with agricultural land use floating photovoltaics (FPV) (FPV). These FPV installations present fresh chances for PV diffusion, especially in nations with dense populations and limited land resources.

The market for recycled solar panels is being primarily driven by the increasing use of solar energy as an energy source and supportive government policies for sustainable development. Solar panel recycling is a relatively complex task because these panels contain various types of materials that must be separated to be properly recycled. Economically and environmentally, recycling solar panels is extremely advantageous.

Supportive Government Policies

Globally, the growing energy crisis, high rates of carbon emissions, and growing concerns about environmental protection have increased the consumption for sustainable power generation. The growing number of pacts and initiatives related to the implementation of solar energy projects across the world is the primary factor driving the increased installation of solar panels or PV modules, which is driving the solar panel recycling market.

Some of the policies and initiatives are

  • Government of India has formed Viability Gap Funding (VGF) support of Rs. 5050 crores for setting up of at least 5000 MW Grid-connected Solar PV power projects by Solar Power Developers on Build-Own-Operate basis.
  • In the US, there is an implementation of solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which is one of the significant federal policies to support the growth of solar energy.
  • UK has an “take-back and recycling scheme”, where PV producers can register and submit data related to products used for the residential solar market and non-residential market.
  • Australian government has announced USD 2 million grant as part of the National Product Stewardship Investment Fund to develop industry-led product stewardship scheme for PV systems.

Increasing use of solar energy

There is an increase in use of solar energy as solar power produces electricity with no global warming contamination, no fuel costs, and no risks of fuel price spikes. It has the potential to help earth toward cleaner, reliable, and affordable sources of electricity.

Some of the examples are

  • Apple is fourth largest corporate solar user with a 101 MW installed capacity. The company has solar facilities which produces adequate electricity to fully charge nearly 45 million iPhones every day for a year.
  • IKEA currently has more than 100 stores fitted with solar panels. The company has invested USD 1.6 billion toward plan of sustainable harvest of their cotton and wood globally.
