China Aims to Upgrade Solar Scrapping Capability as Panels Age

China plans to upgrade its capability to recycle older solar modules in the coming years, as massive amounts of aging equipment are set to fall out of use.

The country is aiming for “large-scale retirement of solar modules” by 2030, six government agencies including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a notice. This includes recycling 250,000 tons of them by 2027, they added.
