6 FAQs about [China Solar Plant Waste]

Will China start a recycling system for retired solar PV panels?

Credit: EDP China has announced a plan to establish a recycling system for retired solar PV panels. In an announcement by the National Development and Reform Commission, China is targeting to build up a mechanism for disposing of decommissioned equipment in solar PV plants by 2025.

Can China dispose of decommissioned solar PV equipment by 2025?

In an announcement by the National Development and Reform Commission, China is targeting to build up a mechanism for disposing of decommissioned equipment in solar PV plants by 2025. It is also aiming to improve relevant standards and specifications for the recycling of decommissioned solar PV and wind power equipment.

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.

Why is PV recycling important in China?

China initiated to underscore the importance of PV recycling in 2017, placing significant emphasis on the advancement of PV recycling technologies, enhancement of recycling facility processing capabilities, and the refinement of recycling system infrastructure to address the challenges of the forthcoming surge in PV waste.

Does China lag behind in PV waste recycling?
