6 FAQs about [Chuxiong photovoltaic waste panels]

Is there a spatio-temporal distribution of PV module waste in China?

In recent decades, large-scale deployment of photovoltaic (PV) power leads to management challenges for recycling PV module waste in China. With the growth of waste PV volumes, it is necessary to figure out the spatio-temporal distribution of PV waste at the provincial level.

What is the future of PV waste generation in China?

Skyrocketing PV waste generation is expected in China towards carbon neutrality. The PV panel waste is estimated at ca.72-134 Mt in China by 2050. Glass, aluminium and steel contribute more than 91% of the PV panel waste. Ag, Ga, and Te are insignificant mass wise but important economic wise in recycling.

How to address the growing challenge of waste PV panels in China?

We suggest that stakeholders in the solar energy industry should take urgent actions, including recycling technology innovations, effective collection systems and incentive measures, to address the growing challenge of waste PV panels in China. 1.

Does China have a comprehensive system for recycling PV waste?

This study conducts a comparative analysis and validation of four methodologies in forecasting PV installations, and subsequently forecasts the volume of PV waste in China, projecting an estimated 6.24 million tons by 2050. Nevertheless, the nation still lacks a comprehensive system for recycling PV waste and the requisite management expertise.

How does China manage PV EOL waste?

China has promulgated policies and regulations for managing PV EOL waste, including the National Solid Waste Law and GB or GB/T standards.

Does China have an obligation to handle solar PV waste?

Solar PV cumulative installation in China (Xu, 2023). While China has made significant strides in leading the global development and deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, there is currently no distinct obligation for handling the waste generated by the end-of-life of solar PV installations.
