New Water-Based Method For Clean Recycling of Perovskite Solar Panels

New Solar Recycling Method Uses Just Water—And Recycles Everything

Thor Balkhed As the global community intensifies its shift toward renewable energy, solar power continues to be heralded as one of the most promising clean energy sources. Yet, despite the environmental benefits that solar panels offer during their operational life, their eventual disposal poses significant ecological concerns.  Particularly for traditional silicon-based solar panels, the end-of-life stage often leads to landfill accumulation, n…

New Water-Based Method For Clean Recycling of Perovskite Solar Panels

Have you ever wondered what happens to solar cells after they’re completely used? What are the disposal techniques for them? Did you ever think that the clean energy we use might leave behind waste that’s harmful to the environment? Well, not anymore. An international team of researchers, led by Linköping University and Cornell University, has found a way to recycle perovskite solar cells safely, and the best part is, they do it using just water…
