6 FAQs about [China solar power project dismantling]
How much waste will China produce from decommissioning wind & solar panels?
By 2040, the cumulative scale of decommissioned wind and solar modules in China is estimated to reach 280 and 250 GW, respectively (4). The decommissioning of wind and photovoltaic equipment will generate a large amount of solid waste, including blades, glass, and semiconductor materials (5).
Will Chinese solar panels be decommissioned in 2025?
The institute's projection is in line with that made by Liu's center. According to a white paper it published in January on the recycling and use of solar panel waste, the first batch of solar panels installed in China will start being decommissioned in 2025.
How can China scale up solar panel recycling?
Policy support and investment are crucial for scaling up solar panel recycling. Modest government support could accelerate the growth and adoption of the recycling market. A PV recycling plan is needed for China. There are no specific regulations for end-of-life PV modules and recycling processes.
How many solar panels will be recycled in China?
The cumulative installed capacity of solar power generation reached 425GW by the end of the first quarter of 2023. With such a rapid increase in installation volume, about 1.5 million tonnes of solar panels will need to be recycled in China in 2030. By 2050, the figure will rise to 20 million.
Why is solar energy a big problem in China?
Zhong Dalong, chief technology officer for solar energy at the National Institute of Clean and Low-Carbon Energy, said the influx of PV waste may happen earlier in China because some companies are likely to decommission low-efficiency panels before they reach their expiry date, because land for solar development is becoming increasingly scarce.
Is China causing a shortage of solar PV modules?
The risk could be further exacerbated for raw materials and solar PV importers. For example, 34% of total PV modules (∼73% of the silicon) consumed by the EU was imported from China in 2019 , . Researchers have demonstrated that materials demand from China is under high shortage risk, largely influencing downstream countries .
