Sustainable Approaches for Recycling Solar Panel Materials: A Circular Economy Perspective

E3S Web of Conferences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 547, P. 01024 - 01024

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

A record number of photovoltaic (PV) systems have been installed around the globe as a result shift towards renewable energy sources, especially solar electricity. But problem how to sustainably handle panels at end their lifecycle will inevitably arise with this increase. Using empirical data provide light on important trends and consequences, paper explores sustainable alternatives recycling panel materials within framework circular economy. The majority are made silicon, which accounts for 60% composition. Aluminum makes up 10%, glass is 20%, copper 5%, plastic 3%, other make 2%. need efficient waste management solutions became acute yearly garbage output climbed from 1,000 tons 1,250 during five-year period. As far efficiency rates go, silicon was 95%, then 85%, 90%, aluminum 80%, plastics 70%, 60%. Plastics produced 700 tons, 950 800 850 900 600 all thanks efforts that overcame obstacles. Based these results, it's clear industry needs more use resources better procedures. Solar may be ensured remain clean source long term by using technical advancements, regulatory assistance, stakeholder engagement speed transition economy model materials.

A spherical fuzzy objective weighting framework for factors affecting bidding decisions for construction projects: A case study of Taiwan

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(16), P. e36420 - e36420

Published: Aug. 1, 2024

In response to the intensely competitive bidding environment in Taiwan's construction industry, this study innovates with a spherical fuzzy extension of modified CRITIC method (SFmCRITIC), pioneering approach crafted refine decision-making process. The research centers on pivotal role accurately weighting various significant factors, such as financial stability, market insight, and specialized expertise, optimize bid success rates. SFmCRITIC stands out by quantitatively incorporating uncertainty subjectivity typically encountered evaluation. findings from methodological application demonstrate clear hierarchy influencing offering nuanced view strategic priorities for firms. This hierarchical understanding not only aids firms targeted resource distribution development but also holds promise adaptation diverse industry contexts beyond Taiwan, potentially revolutionizing strategies at global scale.
