With the large-scale utilization of photovoltaic power generation, the recycling of decommissioned and used photovoltaic modules has become an increasingly prominent problem, and it has also brought huge new business opportunities to the industry. Today, this emerging industry is on the eve of an outbreak.

1. Component recycling - necessity and urgency coexist
With the deterioration of the global environment and the intensification of the energy crisis, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become a global consensus. As one of the important ways for countries to achieve climate goals, photovoltaic new energy, the installed capacity is growing rapidly.
In 2021, the world's newly installed photovoltaic capacity will reach 183GW, a year-on-year increase of more than 30%. According to BNEF Bloomberg New Energy Finance, this figure will increase to 334GW by 2030. As the country with the most mature development of photovoltaic industry, my country's cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation has exceeded 200GW. The installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in the future will undoubtedly leap from the "GW era" to the "TW era".
But at the same time, the large-scale application of photovoltaic power generation has inevitably led to the recycling of waste photovoltaic modules.
According to a set of forecast data from the International Energy Agency, in 2030, the global photovoltaic module recycling will reach about 8 million tons, ushering in a recycling tide. In 2050, nearly 80 million tons of photovoltaic modules worldwide will enter the recycling stage.
Among them, China will face the need to recycle up to 1.5 million tons of photovoltaic modules in 2030, and about 20 million tons in 2050, which is 2,000 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower.
