6 FAQs about [South Korea s waste photovoltaic panels]

What is PV waste in South Korea?

Unlike the EU, South Korea has just initiated the discussion about PV waste. PV waste is included as one of industrial wastes in Annex Table 4 of Article 4.2 of South Korea’s Enforcement Rule of Wastes Control Act (Act No. 14783), Article 4.2 delineates detailed classifications of waste and possible recyclables.

How much solar waste will South Korea have in 2021?

The South Korean government said it expects 1,222 tons of solar module waste by 2025, 2,645 tons by 2027, 6,796 tons by 2029, and 9,632 tons by 2032. The country reached an installed solar capacity of around 22 GW at the end of December 2021. Newly installed PV capacity for 2021 was around 4.4 GW.

How to deal with solar PV waste material?

Therefore, the methods of dealing with solar PV waste material, principally by recycling need to be established by 2040. By recycling solar PV panels EOL and reusing them to make new solar panels, the actual number of waste (i.e., not recycled panels) could be considerably reduced.

When did solar PV start in South Korea?

In South Korea, the first solar PV was installed on the rooftop of a school in 1980. Solar PV increased rapidly after the implementation of the Feed-in-Tariff in 2002, which was replaced with the Renewable Portfolio Standard policy in 2012.

How much solar PV waste will be recycled by 2050?

The worldwide solar PV waste is estimated to reach around 78 million tonnes by 2050. The current status of the EOL PV panels are systemically reviewed and discussed. Policy formation involving manufacturer's liability to inspire recycling of waste solar panels. R&D needs acceleration allowing researchers to resolve issues in PV module recycling.

Does South Korea have a solar module recycling scheme?

South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) has approved a long-awaited scheme for solar module recycling at Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's latest ministerial meeting. The new provisions establish a standardized collection system for each of the country's major regions.
