The circular and sustainable recycling economy being developed now will have the opportunity to grow with the demand for recycling, recovery and reuse of materials for a sustainable supply chain with a lower carbon footprint than the original solar PV panels manufactured 10 to 20 years ago.

A company like First Solar that doesn’t use crystalline but CdTe thin film cells and has committed themselves to power their manufacturing lines by 2028 using solar PV to manufacture solar PV is as close to zero carbon footprint as one can get. Getting First Solar’s recycling program powered by the ‘sun’ would complete the circle, as close to perpetual energy as one can get.
