Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Recycling solar panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for new panel production by 2035. Technical advances are making panel recycling more economic. Buyers and asset owners can start modeling recycled supply and retirement value.

  • 01Panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for solar panel production in 2035, a 15-year lag that suggests recycled supply could be estimated from installation records.
  • 02European researchers estimate recycling could cover about 25% of cobalt and 15% of lithium, nickel and manganese supply by 2030.
  • 03A recycler's recovery rate means little without its purity: TNO's laser process reported roughly 97% yield with silver at 99.7% purity, the pairing that tells a manufacturer whether the metal is usable.
