摘要
The rapid deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems underscores their potential as vital clean energy solutions with reduced carbon emissions and increasingly competitive installation costs. This review examines PV waste management from a sustainable perspective, focusing on environmental impacts and technological advancements. Various solar cell technologies, including crystalline silicon, thin-film, and emerging third-generation cells like perovskite and organic photovoltaics, are analyzed for their life cycle and environmental effects. Effective disposal and recycling methods, such as physical separation and thermal and chemical treatments, are critically evaluated to mitigate ecological harm. The study highlights the need for improved recycling processes and sustainable practices to enhance the environmental benefits of PV systems. Future solutions call for better recycling techniques, increased efficiency in renewable materials, and comprehensive life cycle assessments to support the global transition to sustainable energy. This review aims to foster the integration of sustainable practices in the renewable energy sector, ensuring that PV systems contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
