FAQs about Tallin downgrades PV module exports

Which country imports the most PV modules to Europe?

In addition to exports to Asia, it is noteworthy that the United States of America stands out as the largest single Extra-European importer of European PV hardware. Table 3. The imported and exported value [€, millions] and the share [%] of PV modules and cells into Europe from third countries.

What are some examples of high-value PV recycling in Europe?

Rosi Solar in France and Reiling in Germany are examples of industrial initiatives for high-value PV recycling in Europe. Rosi Solar uses pyrolysis for delamination and chemical processing to recover high purity glass, silicon, silver and other metals next to aluminum from the frames.

How to improve PV module recycling capacity & technology?

Further improvement in the PV recycling capacity and technology is needed to meet future increased demand and to realize the goal of high-value, low-cost recycling. To improve economic aspects of PV module recycling, considering values of recovered materials such as critical minerals would be also necessary.

Why is PV module recycling a high-cost & low-revenue solution?

As per the IEA, the current low volumes of EOL PVs, lack of efficient recycling technologies, logistics challenges, and undeveloped markets for recovered materials result in a high-cost, low-revenue scenario of PV module recycling. However, there are examples of market leaders in this space.
