Abstract: The recycling of solar panel cells has undergone a transformative journey, encompassing the past, present, and future of sustainable practices within the renewable energy sector. This abstract explores the evolution of solar panel recycling from its early stages to the current state of the industry and anticipates future trends. In the past, recycling methods were rudimentary, with little focus on the recovery of valuable materials. Today, innovative approaches have emerged, leading to more efficient and environmentally friendly recycling processes. Current methodologies aim to extract and reuse valuable components like metals and polymers while reducing environmental impact. Looking ahead, the future of solar panel recycling will continue to evolve, with ongoing research dedicated to enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and broadening the range of recoverable materials. As solar energy adoption grows, establishing strategically located recycling centers and adopting sustainable practices will be pivotal for the long-term sustainability of solar technology. This abstract underscores the significance of sustainable practices in the solar industry and their role in maintaining solar power as a clean and renewable energy source for the future.
