With the increasing adoption of solar photovoltaic panels, there is a growing concern about their end-of-life management and proper disposal. Improper handling of waste from solar panels can lead to environmental pollution and health hazards. As the demand for solar photovoltaic panels continues to rise, the need for effective end-of-life management and recycling has become increasingly critical. When these panels are not properly disposed of, they can pose serious environmental and health risks. To tackle these issues, it is crucial to have a grasp of the different approaches and technologies accessible for repurposing solar PV panels. It's also vital to take into account the financial and regulatory factors linked to the recycling procedure. In this summary, we will further investigate these matters and examine the present status of solar photovoltaic panel recycling, along with the obstacles and potential for progress that exist.

Chemical management is critical and has an enormous impact on our daily lives. Numerous advancements in chemical production have transformed management facets, most notably vis-à-vis safety, health, and environment. Thus, the scientometric review could depict and analyse publication trends in updating scientific datasets and knowledge in this field. This scientometric review is intended to scrutinise the progress, trends, and updates of publications concerning chemical management in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The publication patterns and authors’ keywords are among the scientometric parameters examined in this review. The obtained publication lists or metadata in this study were analysed using ScientoPy and VOSviewer software, which displayed the scientometric results graphically. The current study portrayed that the number of publications on chemical management has increased in both databases. The exploratory publications and research areas reveal that efforts to inspect chemical management cover miscellaneous topics and disciplines such as environmental science and ecology, engineering, and agriculture. The most related authors’ keywords concerning chemical management are “Risk management”, “Risk assessment”, and “REACH”. Researchers and practitioners may benefit from this scientometric review since it contains data, concepts, thoughts, and insights that can be employed to bolster their theories and practices in managing chemicals.

“…Energies 2022, 15, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 20 recyclable metals, such as Si, Al, Ag, Cu, and Sn, which are valuable materials, and lowiron glass with a high purity [9][10][11][12][13]; therefore, recognizing PV modules as industrial waste and burying them in landfills is not an ideal option. This paper analyzes the tendency of RSB hotspots that frequently occur in PV power plants and compares the power after recovery with the rated power of the module to focus on a method of reusing the module [14][15][16][17][18]. When a recovered module is restored to 70% or more of its rated output, longterm degradation is crucial to the economic feasibility and long-term reliability of the recovery technology.…”

When the thickness of the solar cell wafer and the amount of Ag to be used decreases, it is the best method to recover the power of the module after use at a minimum cost and reuse the module itself. Economic recovery technology can be applied to the power degradation, caused by the resistive solder bond (RSB) hotspot by poor soldering, because the recovery process can be simplified compared to the power loss that is often greater than 30%. This study demonstrated a quick recovery of the RSB hotspot with on-site recovery technology applied with resin and verified the performance and long-term reliability of on-site recovery technology, compared to the factory recovery method, where the back sheet is removed and laminated to recover the module. Both the factory and field recovery methods confirmed recovery results closer to the initial rated power output of the samples. Each sample was degraded by the RSB hotspot to ~62–65% of the initial power output, and the recovery process successfully recovered it to ~96–99%. In on-site recovery, verification of the possible EVA solvothermal swelling, which is the effect of organic solvents contained in the resin on EVA, is essential for verifying the long-term reliability of the recovered module. In this study, the power degradations of the on-site recovered samples after a TC 200 cycle test are −2.14% and −0.95%, respectively, which are within the certification test standard of the new manufacturing module. Existing factory recovery costs not only in the recovery process, but also in a total of 22 stages, such as the transfer of the target module. The largest advantage is that the on-site recovery process can be restarted in the field after only eight stages.
