Over time, panels accumulate dirt, dust, bird droppings, leaves, and other debris that can block sunlight and reduce efficiency. In some areas, efficiency loss can be as high as 15–25% if panels are not regularly maintained.

As the UK’s solar infrastructure ages, the industry faces a crucial turning point. With many systems now reaching the end of their initial lifespans, repowering, revamping, and recycling are emerging as key strategies to extend performance, meet sustainability goals, and adapt to new regulations. This article explores how these approaches are redefining the solar lifecycle and shaping the future of clean energy in the UK.

The sun's power is a beacon of clean energy, and solar PV panels are a fantastic way to harness it. But what happens to these panels when they reach the end of their lifespan? Thankfully, the answer isn't a landfill. Solar panel recycling is a growing solution that offers a sustainable way to manage this waste stream.

As the solar energy industry continues to grow, the issue of solar panel waste disposal has emerged as a critical concern

Solar panel recycling is not just an option; it's a necessity
