25million solar panels in the UK, and counting

London, 05 August, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Tonnes of solar panels could end up on the scrap heap unless the Government acts now, experts have warned.

There are around 25million solar panels in the UK and as 2.5billion globally.

Governments across the world, the UK included, have been pushing for green alternatives to fossil fuels in order to hit emission targets in a bid to tackle climate change.

But as the first generation of solar panels are expected to die off in the coming years, experts have warned that many could end up in landfill rather than recycled because of a drastic lack of infrastructure.

Currently, there is only one recycling plant in the whole of the UK that specialises in recycling solar panels but this is a small operation in Scunthorpe.

Currently, almost all PV panel waste goes into landfill and only very small numbers are recycled by labour-intensive and expensive means as they must be taken apart by hand, the professor added.
