Since solar cells installed outdoors are exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, the backplane needs to have reliable insulation, water resistance and ageing resistance, and it is difficult for single-layer film materials to fully meet the requirements .
Solar-cell scrap and cumulative scrap in China in 2005–34 Recycling and reuse of complete cells are very difficult and the recycling of large amounts of aluminium, silver, silicon and other resources in waste cells will become the focus.
Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This can now be made possible through a new design principle developed at Linköping University, Sweden. In the study, published in the journal Nature Energy, the researchers have studied molecule shape and interaction in organic solar cells.
Some scholars have studied the leaching toxicity of solar panels and found that lead in cells has a high leaching toxicity . Therefore, the recycling of solar cells is of great significance for saving resources and protecting the environment .
The efficiency of organic solar cells is catching up with traditional solar cells and they can convert about 20 percent of the sun's rays into electricity. The high efficiency is the result of several years of intensive materials research and studies of the interaction between the molecules in the material, the so-called morphology.
