6 FAQs about [Social value of solar photovoltaic major]
Do social factors affect photovoltaic recycling and reuse?
Techno-economic studies of photovoltaic solar cells recycling and reuse often do not take into account the impact of social factors. Walzberg et al. use an agent-based model to estimate the quantitative impact of behavioural choices on photovoltaic recycling efficacy.
How will solar photovoltaics affect energy production?
Soaring global deployment of solar photovoltaics (PV) could mitigate problems related to energy generation, but may exacerbate other issues. PV manufacturing depletes scarce resources, such as silver, tellurium and copper 1, 2. For instance, silver production could peak by 2030, with a risk of demand outstripping supply around 2075 3.
How will end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules be repurposed in 2050?
Nature Energy 6, 913–924 (2021) Cite this article By 2050, the cumulative mass of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules may reach 80 Mt globally. The impacts could be mitigated by module recycling, repair and reuse; however, previous studies of PV circularity omit the consideration of critical social factors.
Do lower recycling prices affect PV material circularity?
We also performed a global sensitivity analysis using a machine-learning metamodel. We show that to exclude social factors underestimates the effect of lower recycling prices on PV material circularity, which highlights the relevance of considering social factors in future studies.
Can a circular economy reduce end-of-life photovoltaic modules?
By 2050, the cumulative mass of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules may reach 80 million metric tons globally. The impacts could be mitigated by circular economy (CE) strategies including module recycling, repair, and reuse. However, previous studies of PV circularity omit consideration of critical social factors.
How do recycling costs affect photovoltaic modules?
Recycling costs (without accounting for the value of recovered materials) decrease with the amount of PV modules being recycled. Shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals, blue and red lines correspond to the left and right y axes, respectively. By 2050, the cumulative mass of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules may reach 80 Mt globally.
