This review addresses the growing need for the efficient recycling of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules (PVMs), in the context of global solar energy adoption and the impending surge in end-of-life (EoL) panel waste. The 'on-the-shelf' treatment solution was then the limited amount of flat glass recyclers. From a material perspective, a PV Panel is mainly a laminated flat. . Transforming scrap solar photovoltaic (PV) panels from potential waste into treasured resources is a key step in driving the renewable energy sector towards a sustainable circular economy. It examines current recycling methodologies and associated challenges. . According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), with the average lifespan of solar panels ranging between 25-30 years, a considerable volume of the panels we use today will need to be retired in the decades to come. Many PV panels often break because of the intense pressure from the extreme heat, strong winds, heavy snowfall, or rolling around on the. .
