With the rapid development of the solar energy industry, the "e-waste" generated by it is also accumulating rapidly!

　　The industry is concerned that with the acceleration and deepening of the global green transformation, solar energy is more and more widely used, and the disposal of a large number of scrap solar panels will become an unbearable burden for the solar energy industry.

　　The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) pointed out that the global installed capacity of solar energy continues to grow, but so far there is no large-scale solar panel obsolescence plan. If this situation is not changed, there will be at least 78 million tons in the world by 2050. "Solar e-waste" is discarded, and the United States will “contribute” 10 million tons of it.

　　"Harvard Business Review" pointed out that the current cost of recycling a solar panel is about US$20-30, while the cost of sending it to the landfill is only US$1-2. This makes the solar energy industry even more difficult to recycle. Not caring. It is estimated that by 2031, the actual waste volume of solar panels will exceed the newly installed volume, and by 2035, the waste volume will be 2.56 times the newly installed volume.

　　The design life of solar panels is usually 25-30 years. To a certain extent, its price and efficiency can influence the speed at which consumers can replace new panels. If the cost of buying new and more efficient solar panels is low enough and the solar feed-in tariff is attractive enough, consumers will choose to replace new panels instead of extending the life of existing panels.

　　This means that more and more solar panels that have not yet reached the end of their service life will quickly enter the scrap and recycling stage. This is only the use of residential solar panels. If you consider venture capital or utility solar projects with incentive mechanisms, such The scale of waste and decommissioning will be immeasurable.

　　Lithium-ion battery (LIB) has become the main energy storage solution in modern social life. Among them, lithium iron phosphate batteries are a perfect replacement for lead-acid batteries, and they are the first choice for grid-connected peak shaving, off-grid energy storage, photovoltaic energy storage, UPS, data center and other industries.

　　Solar power generation system with lithium battery energy storage system is a very promising clean energy.
