Beschreibung

Solar energy plays a major role in the renewable energy mix. Even though the lifetime of PV modules is quite long and they remain in operation for up to 30 years, they will have to be disposed of at some point and, in the best case, recycled.

Already today, different processes and concepts for the recycling of discarded PV modules are in use. However, due to a lack of standardization of recycling processes for PV modules, the full potential of recycling cannot be exploited. A holistic approach for solar module recycling is being realized in the project ReSi-Norm, which covers all factors for standardization along the entire materials cycle.

During this workshop, the partners of the project ReSi-Norm will give an overview of the current state-of-the-art in PV recycling and present the results of the experiments on different recycling processes done in the project. Furthermore, gaps in current standards and how to address them will be discussed with the audience.

The project receives public funding from the German WIPANO program.
