6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel disassembly environmental impact assessment report form]

Are environmental impacts associated with the end-of-life phase of PV panels?

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.

Do PV panels have a life cycle impact?

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.

How does a new European regulation affect PV panels?

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).

How to deal with solar PV waste material?

Therefore, the methods of dealing with solar PV waste material, principally by recycling need to be established by 2040. By recycling solar PV panels EOL and reusing them to make new solar panels, the actual number of waste (i.e., not recycled panels) could be considerably reduced.

Does solar PV panel EOL management exist?

Therefore, solar PV panel EOL management is an evolving field that requires further research and development. The key aim of this study is to highlight an updated review of the waste generation of solar panels and a sketch of the present status of recovery efforts, policies on solar panel EOL management and recycling.

What is the environmental impact of EOL PV panels?

The environmental impact of EOL PV panels is influenced by various factors and dynamic processes, which poses challenges to the application of LCA methodology. These challenges can be summarized as follows: It is necessary to establish a unified LCA framework, such as a unified system boundary, functional unit, and LCIA model.
