Solar Sustainability: Redefining Waste Management in Renewable Energy

Abstract

With the increasing adoption of solar photovoltaic panels, there is a growing concern about their end-of-life management and proper disposal. Improper handling of waste from solar panels can lead to environmental pollution and health hazards.  As the demand for solar photovoltaic panels continues to rise, the need for effective end-of-life management and recycling has become increasingly critical. When these panels are not properly disposed of, they can pose serious environmental and health risks. To tackle these issues, it is crucial to have a grasp of the different approaches and technologies accessible for repurposing solar PV panels. It's also vital to take into account the financial and regulatory factors linked to the recycling procedure. In this summary, we will further investigate these matters and examine the present status of solar photovoltaic panel recycling, along with the obstacles and potential for progress that exist.
