Abstract
NREL is working to enhance the sustainability of photovoltaic (PV) systems by increasing the energy these systems produce over their lifetimes, reducing the energy and materials consumed in their manufacture and installation, and enabling reuse or recycling. These efforts are designed to help transform the "linear economy" - where materials are simply used and disposed - into a circular one.
