Regeneration of waste photovoltaic panels
The key aim of this study is to highlight an updated review of the waste generation of solar panels and a sketch of the present status of recovery efforts, policies on solar panel EOL management and recycling. The review also anticipates the base of solar panel recycling recommending future directions for public policymakers.

Effective recovery and recycling of materials from PV panels could potentially reduce the energy payback time (EPBT) associated with PV panels. An estimate in Italy showed that the EPBT of a PV panel could be reduced by 1.7% when recovery and recycling are accounted into the manufacturing cycle [99] .
The paper will review the existing literature to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the present state of PV waste generation and end-of-life management strategies. This study will explore current recycling methods, assess relevant policies, and explore the benefits of responsible solar panel management.
From the 2016 International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) end-of-life-management report, it is estimated that by 2030 there will be between 1.7–8 million tonnes of PV panel waste in .
The resulting PSi/Li/N@C composite exhibits a high capacity of 685.2 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 2000 mA g −1. This work provides a potential application prospect and a new strategy for the value-added recycling of discarded PV cells. The global exponential increases in annual photovoltaic (PV) installations and the resultant waste PV .
