Focus interview: Where the waste photovoltaic modules flow

Photovoltaic module recycling market prospects are huge, but to truly form a green closed loop of the photovoltaic industry chain, but also need to continue to improve the relevant policies and standards, to guide and regulate the recycling industry.

In July 2023, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the recycling of decommissioned wind power and photovoltaic Equipment", requiring that the construction of waste recycling system be accelerated to promote the recycling of decommissioned wind power and photovoltaic equipment. However, there is no special management policy for the recycling and treatment of waste photovoltaic modules.

Jiang Hua, deputy secretary general of China Photovoltaic Industry Association: "After the introduction of our top-level design documents, the corresponding supporting rules and supporting policy documents also need to be pre-researched and researched and introduced." On the one hand, it can adopt the way of policy to regulate; On the other hand, the introduction of such mandatory national standards, including environmental protection standards, energy conservation standards, etc., can you enter the industry and achieve closed-loop green development of the industry."

Photovoltaic is green energy, photovoltaic industry is also a green industry, but this industrial chain to form a green closed loop, can not be separated from the photovoltaic module after the environmental recovery. At present, China's photovoltaic module recycling industry is still in its infancy, there is a small workshop business hot and formal large enterprises are not enough to eat, on the one hand, pollution of the environment, on the other hand, but waste of resources, there is an urgent need to improve the relevant policies and standards, the recycling of photovoltaic modules to guide and regulate, at the same time, establish a sound responsibility mechanism, We will strengthen environmental supervision over the whole process of recycling, utilization and disposal. In the output of green energy at the same time, pay more attention to the whole chain of environmental protection, reduce the impact on the environment, the photovoltaic industry can achieve green low-carbon sustainable development.
