Russia plays a significant role in the global solar panel industry, manufacturing numerous panels for international markets. However, the ongoing war has disrupted solar panel production and supply chains, leading to decreased availability in the global market. Ukraine houses several solar panel recycling facilities, but the conflict threatens to impede their operations, potentially reducing the industry's recycling capacity. In addition to production and recycling disruptions, the political instability and interruptions in the supply chain have also resulted in increased costs for solar panels. This confluence of factors is having a notable impact on the solar panel sector, both in terms of supply and pricing.

Key Players Landscape and Outlook

Companies in the solar panel recycle market implement strategies like collaborations, global expansion, regulatory compliance, public awareness campaigns, circular economy initiatives, customer engagement, cost efficiency, government advocacy, and diversification of services. Moreover, operating companies invest in research and development to create advanced recycling technologies. Innovations that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the overall recycling process give companies a competitive edge.

In 2023, JinkoSolar developed a recycling process that allows for recycling 92% of a solar panel's materials. This includes cells, front glass, back sheet, aluminum frame, copper wire, encapsulation material, and junction box. In contrast to traditional recycling methods that blend materials, making separation challenging, the company's innovative solution employs thermal and mechanical processes to separate the glass and silicon wafer. It also leverages the distinct melting points of encapsulation materials like thermoset EVA/POE during the module's heating for disassembly.

In November 2022, First Solar Inc. unveiled plans to invest USD 1.1 billion in constructing a photovoltaic (PV) solar module manufacturing facility in Lawrence County, USA, with the aim of generating more than 700 employment opportunities in North Alabama. During the same month, Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), United Renewable Energy (URE), Taiwan's largest solar panel and solar cell manufacturer, and San Fang Chemical Industry Co. Ltd., a Taiwan-based technological film producer dedicated to sustainability, collaborated on developing easily disassembled solar panel modules, allowing for complete recycling of photovoltaic (PV) modules upon decommissioning.

In July 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) disclosed its intention to allocate USD56 million, including USD10 million for infrastructure, to drive innovation in solar manufacturing and recycling across the United States. The funding's objectives are to make clean energy more accessible and reliable by 2035 and achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century.

In September 2022, SOLAR CYCLE, a technology-driven company specializing in recycling solar panels, partnered with Silicon Ranch Corporation, one of the largest independent electricity producers. Their collaboration focuses on processing end-of-life stage solar systems from Silicon Ranch installations through SOLAR CYCLE's advanced, high-recovery recycling platform. SOLAR CYCLE's innovative module recycling process recovers nearly 95% of the value of solar panels, which can then be reintroduced into the supply network to create new panels.
