Middle East and Africa Solar Panel Recycling Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Middle East and Africa Solar Panel Recycling Market is estimated to reach USD 9.89 million by 2033 with a CAGR of 13.51%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Middle East and Africa Solar Panel Recycling Market, including market size and trends, product mix, applications, and supplier analysis. The process of reclaiming valuable parts and components from used or end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) solar panels is known as solar panel recycling. Minimising waste, lessening the environmental effect of discarded panels, and recovering valuable resources for use in the production of new solar panels or other goods are the main objectives of solar panel recycling.
- In November 2022, First Solar Inc. announced plans to invest USD 1.1 billion in the development of a photovoltaic (OV) solar module manufacturing facility in Lawrence County, Alabama, which will create over 700 jobs.
- April 2021: A new research endeavour at the UNEP DTU Partnership is expected to improve the odds of collecting and recycling electronic waste from small solar PV systems in Kenya and other African countries.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities-
- Novel Recycling Technologies: The MEA solar panel recycling industry offers prospects for the creation and uptake of novel recycling technologies. Innovative methods that can lower costs and increase recycling efficiency include robotic dismantling, automated sorting, and effective material recovery procedures.
- Partnerships and Cooperation: Working together, recyclers, government agencies, and producers of solar panels can promote the growth of a strong solar panel recycling industry. Partnerships can help with infrastructure development, knowledge sharing, and the adoption of sustainable practices.
- Value Chain Integration: Incorporating solar panel recycling into the broader solar energy value chain can result in a comprehensive and sustainable strategy. The industry may improve resource recovery and reduce waste by building effective reverse logistics systems and including recycling considerations into the design process.
Challenges-
Ignorance of the Value of Recycling Solar Panels and the Existence of Recycling Alternatives: Many consumers and solar panel owners may be unaware of the importance of recycling solar panels or the availability of recycling solutions. This lack of information may result in the incorrect disposal of outdated panels, such as sending them to landfills rather than recycling centres. While the solar panel recycling industry is expanding, it may lack the exposure and notoriety of other areas of the solar energy sector, such as panel manufacture or installation. This lack of prominence may contribute to a general lack of awareness about recycling options. Effectively explaining the benefits and processes of solar panel recycling to a large audience can be difficult. Information on recycling alternatives and facilities may not be easily accessible to the public, resulting in lack of awareness. The lack of understanding is a big barrier to the solar panel recycling sector.
