The Reality of Solar Panel Recycling: Original Research and Analysis Based on Public Documents
Second edition
Analysis case of the actual state of the solar panel recycling market and public information.
Although the fixed feed-in tariff system (FIT system) introduced in 2012 led to a rapid adoption of solar power generation nationwide, challenges toward the sustainable spread of renewable energy, such as harmony with local communities and the environment, as well as future mass disposal, have become apparent. In particular, there are concerns that these solar panels will be removed and disposed of en masse around the mid-2030s, with estimates suggesting a volume of 170,000 to 280,000 tons per year. In response to the future mass disposal issue, efforts are being made nationwide by government agencies, research institutions, and private companies to develop technologies and establish recycling environments. However, the reality of these efforts has not been comprehensively reported in the media, and outdated or incorrect information is rampant, particularly on social media. This report, "The Reality of Solar Panel Recycling: Unique Research and Analysis Based on Public Documents," organizes the information disseminated by the comprehensive information site for solar panel recycling, "PV Recycling.com(R)," and introduces analysis cases based on various public information and data, proposing challenges and countermeasures that emerge from these facts.
