A significant portion of framed silicon-based solar panel waste is glass, approximately 67-76%. Ensuring effective recycling of this glass is not only crucial for minimizing the environmental impact but also for achieving circular economy goals, a big value renewable energy…
The following is a transcript from the Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Module Recycling presentation delivered by Dwight Clark, CHMM and General Manager of Solar eWaste Solutions at the eSummit powered by SERI. For the full presentation, click here or on the presentation…
Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research anticipate a steep rise in global glass demand as the solar industry increasingly adopts double-glass photovoltaic (PV) panels. Unlike conventional panels, which only…
9.57 million tonnes of PV panels are expected to reach their end-of-life (EOL) by 2050. It’s exciting to see the launching of large-scale PV development plans throughout the United States. As we develop these massive utility-scale solar projects, we must…
