Assessment of the recycliability index for photovoltaic products (modules and inverters) based on the study commissioned by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environmental Executive Agency (CINEA). The recyclability index is based on key parameters such as service-related, dismantling-related, and material-based aspects, with the aim to assess design variability and its impact for recyclability.

First of its kind index, that can be used to rate PV components with regard to their recyclability potential. This index can be adapted to integrated PV products, such as lightweight, floating, roof-tiles…

Manufacturers of PV modules and inverters interested in knowing how their products score with regard to their recyclability.

CENER has participated in the development of this recyclability index, focusing on the design, development and adjustment of the testing phase. We offer the integral assessment of the recyclability index and comparison with the available database.
