Solar Energy, Recycling, Value ChainAbstract
With the increase of photovoltaics around the world, the global installed capacity is expected to reach 4,500GW in 2050. This market has grown significantly over the years and the volume of photovoltaic modules, a component used to convert solar energy into electrical energy, has also increased. Therefore, the increase in waste generated at the end of the useful life of these systems represents an environmental challenge for the application of new public policies, in addition to generating new opportunities with the reinsertion of these materials that can be recycled into a new value chain. The potential available for the photovoltaic waste market until 2030 represents about 8 tons of raw materials that can be inserted and used in the manufacturing of 60 million new modules, but only the European Union has specific regulations applied to photovoltaic waste. The different components can be used in new industries, such as the glass, metal, and even photovoltaic. With this great potential, there are challenges in countries that do not have specific public policies despite having great potential such as Brazil, which has great potential for implementing this kind of technology due to its privileged location. The country can use already consolidated public policies such as that of the EU, which carries out and proposes the control by manufacturers that supply in its territory over these deactivated and/or damaged IX Congresso Brasileiro de Energia Solar – Florianópolis, 23 a 27 de maio de 2022 modules. The success of a well-structured recycling system that will result in new value chains will depend on correct handling by the parties involved in the process, who must have their responsibilities as customers, suppliers and manufacturers defined and stipulated by current regulations.This study aims to present opportunities in the value chain of recycling photovoltaic modules, as well as demonstrate existing policies and perform a critical and comparative analysis.
