Solar panel recycling has evolved into a sophisticated, technology-driven process that goes far beyond traditional material recovery. Recent innovations have positioned this field at the crossroads of sustainability, technology, and economic opportunity.
The concept of Urban Mining in solar panel recycling views decommissioned panels as valuable “urban ore,” rich in rare elements like indium and gallium. Cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques are now enabling the rapid identification and sorting of panels based on their material composition, enhancing efficiency. These advancements facilitate accurate predictions of panel composition, automation in sorting processes, and real-time optimization of recycling methods. Some companies are even exploring innovative uses for recycled solar materials beyond the renewable energy sector.
According to SPER Market Research, the Asia Pacific Solar Panel Recycling Market is projected to reach USD 370.66 billion by 2033, growing at an impressive CAGR of 27.02%.
