The solar panel recycling market is an industry focused on recovering valuable materials from end-of-life or damaged photovoltaic (PV) panels. The continuous growth of solar power installations worldwide has led to a rising number of panels needing recycling, reaching the end of their 25–30-year lifespan.
The solar panel recycling market comprises several stakeholders in the value chain, which include raw material suppliers, manufacturers, and end users. Various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the solar panel recycling market have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information.
The U.S. dominated the North American solar panel recycling market in 2024 due to the country's large-scale solar installations and the proactive measures taken to manage solar waste. The U.S. government has implemented various policies and incentives to encourage solar panel recycling, including tax credits and subsidies for recycling facilities.
The early loss (UV panel waste) segment held the largest revenue share in the solar panel recycling market in 2024. This segment includes solar panels that fail prematurely, often due to poor installation, midlife failures, or degradation of the anti-reflective coating on the glass.
