Growth Drivers:

• Solar Panel Installed Base Expands: Government incentives, renewable energy targets, and falling solar panel costs have all contributed to significant growth in the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Europe. As the number of solar panels installed grows, so does the need for their eventual recycling and proper disposal. The growing installed base ensures a steady supply of end-of-life panels for recycling, propelling the recycling market forward.
   
• Economic Incentives and Market Potential: The expanding solar panel recycling market provides economic opportunities for recycling companies and entrepreneurs. The reuse or sale of valuable materials such as silicon, aluminum, and precious metals can generate revenue. As the market grows and demand for recycling services rises, economic incentives for the development of specialised recycling facilities and infrastructure are created.
   
• Goals for Environmental Awareness and Sustainability: Europe prioritises environmental sustainability and resource efficiency. Solar panel recycling contributes to these goals by lowering the environmental impact of landfilling or incinerating end-of-life panels. Recycling allows for the recovery of valuable materials while reducing the need for raw material extraction, thereby contributing to a circular economy and resource conservation.

Restraints:

• Fragmented Collection Infrastructure: Due to the lack of a well-established and centralized collection infrastructure, collecting used solar panels from various sources can be difficult. This can lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and challenges in ensuring the proper disposal of end-of-life panels.

By Process Synopsys:

The Europe Solar Panel Recycling Market is classified by process into mechanical, thermal, laser, and other. The mechanical segment is expected to hold the largest revenue share during the study period. This is due to its low cost, scalability, and widespread adoption by recycling facilities. Mechanical recycling has created processes and technologies that allow for the efficient separation and recovery of valuable materials from solar panels. Furthermore, the well-established infrastructure and expertise in mechanical recycling make it a preferred choice for many regional recyclers.

By Type Synopsys:    

The market is classified by type into crystalline silicon, thin film, and other. The crystalline silicon segment is slated to hold the largest share of the Europe Solar Panel Recycling Market during the study period. This is primarily due to the widespread adoption of crystalline silicon technology in Europe and around the world, making it the dominant technology in the solar panel market. The well-established infrastructure, expertise, and recycling processes for crystalline silicon panels have all contributed to its larger recycling market share.

Key Development:

• In February 2022, Rosi Solar has announced the development of an industrial solution that enables the extraction of high purity silicon, silver, and copper from decommissioned PV modules. Utilizing a pyrolysis process, the company's technology facilitates the isolation of these metals from the solar cells.
   
• In April 2023, ROSI Solar has emerged as a pioneer in Europe by introducing an industrial solution that efficiently recovers high-purity silicon, silver, and copper from decommissioned photovoltaic (PV) modules. Their groundbreaking chemical and heat separation process enables the retrieval and separation of metals and cells, preserving the purity of materials that are typically lost during solar cell manufacturing and the end-of-life stage of solar panels. Moreover, this solution is offered at a cost-effective rate.
