Abstract

While the world is transitioning away from conventional fossil fuel energy systems, recent global reports prove that photovoltaic (PV) energy systems are currently the best renewable alternative. This work presents a comprehensive review of the photovoltaic industry's current linear or unidirectional economy model and proposes a circular economy (CE) model to address sustainability concerns. This work focuses on reviewing, criticizing, and discussing the practical implementations of the 10Rs of sustainability, which aim to achieve both sustainable development goals (SDGs) and global circular economy targets. This work presents multiple comprehensive models with practically informative and conceptually rich structures for the PV's CE from an environmental-, sustainability-, and a business-, deployment and development perspectives. Such models provide the readers with guidelines and technical explanations of the overall goals, pathways/roadmaps, and tools towards solar PV's CE. The work also highlights and verifies important conceptual misunderstandings like the differences between the recycle principle, the dismantling techniques, and the recover principle. The current work bridges the gaps between the PV literature and the PV industry through providing a detailed and practical approach to achieving a successfully sustainable PVs’ CE.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
