End-of-life management is becoming an increasingly
important consideration in the solar industry.
Australia has committed to reduce its CO2
emissions
by 43% by 2030 compared to 2005, then to reach net
zero emissions by 2050. A significant uptake of solar
photovoltaics (PV) will play a vital role in achieving this
target. However, this brings the challenge of managing
the millions of tonnes of solar panel waste at the end
of the 25-year lifetime. This scoping study, Solar Panel
End-of-Life Management in Australia, provides an indepth analysis of the current PV recycling landscape,
market opportunity, best practice and most cost-effective
strategies to manage solar panels end of life in Australia.
