A special report in issue 45 of PV Tech Power, released on June 4, 2026, examines the solar industry’s preparedness for a predicted wave of end-of-life photovoltaic projects and equipment. The source material for this article is the PV Tech Power publication.
As solar power plants constructed during the industry’s initial expansion phase reach the end of their operational lives or are retired prematurely, questions regarding dismantling procedures and the handling of resulting waste materials are becoming more urgent. Estimates indicate that the volume of end-of-life modules could amount to tens of millions of tonnes over the next two decades.
The cover report explores how the industry should address this challenge, beginning with the creation of best practices for decommissioning end-of-life projects. It also examines various technologies and processes being developed globally for recycling waste modules and recovering valuable materials they contain.
With the annual Intersolar Europe event in Munich approaching, the edition also reviews obstacles facing Europe’s photovoltaic industry. Following several record years, the growth rate of new installations has moderated slightly over the past year and is expected to remain subdued for at least another couple of years. The report analyzes structural challenges that must be resolved to support the next phase of the continent’s energy transition.
