Evaluating Material Circular Efficacy of Waste-Management Scenarios Using PV ICE (PV in the Circular Economy) Tool

Research output: NRELPoster

Abstract

To meet the nation’s clean energy needs, it is projected that at least 1 TW of solar photovoltaics (PV) will be installed by 2050. To make this transition to solar energy sustainable, planning for a circular economy that maximizes reuse, repair, and recycle is crucial. The objective of this poster is to evaluate the circular efficacy of waste-management interventions, while considering social factors, using PV ICE, a modeling tool that quantifies future mass flows of PV based on dynamic, real-world data.
