Recycling and Its Impacts on the Photovoltaic Sector

22/09/2024

With the growth in the use of clean energy in Europe and around the world, companies face a major challenge: the environmentally correct disposal of photovoltaic modules through recycling.

The benefits of using solar energy for the environment are numerous and well known, however, it also generates its impacts when it is not disposed of correctly. The main environmental impact associated with the use of photovoltaic modules is the generation of waste, which ends up in landfills.

During installation or even throughout their useful life, modules may suffer damage and malfunctions, resulting, in many cases, in the need for disposal. However, modules that are discarded inappropriately can result in a significant environmental impact. For the process to be sustainable, adequate disposal of this waste must be carried out.

At Conforsun, we carry out the recycling process through collection, processing, selection and reuse. With our module recycling work, we are pioneers in Europe.
