태양광 모듈 재사용 : 세계 시장 점유율과 순위, 총판매량 및 수요 예측(2025-2031년)

The global market for Photovoltaic Modules Re-Use was estimated to be worth US$ 177 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 736 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 22.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

Photovoltaic modules re-use refers to the process of extending the life of used solar panels by repurposing or refurbishing them for continued use in new or secondary applications. Instead of being dismantled or recycled immediately after their initial service life, these modules are tested for functionality, cleaned, and then redeployed, often in less demanding environments such as off-grid systems, rural electrification projects, or developing regions. This approach reduces electronic waste, conserves energy and resources, and offers a more sustainable lifecycle for solar energy technologies.

As the global solar energy industry matures, the issue of end-of-life management for photovoltaic (PV) modules is gaining critical attention. A growing number of solar panels installed during the early 2000s are now approaching or surpassing their expected service life, leading to a surge in decommissioned modules. However, many of these panels still retain functional capacity, making them suitable for re-use rather than immediate recycling. The re-use market for photovoltaic modules is thus emerging as a practical and environmentally beneficial solution, especially in the context of circular economy goals and e-waste reduction strategies. In particular, regions with limited access to affordable energy-such as rural areas in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America-are increasingly adopting second-hand solar panels for basic electrification. For solar companies and project developers, re-use presents a cost-effective way to extend the value chain and reduce lifecycle emissions. Challenges remain, including regulatory barriers, quality assurance, and a lack of standardization in testing and certification. However, advancements in diagnostic tools and performance testing are making it easier to verify the condition of used panels, enhancing confidence in second-life systems. In the years ahead, as sustainability targets tighten and material scarcity becomes a greater concern, photovoltaic module re-use is expected to become a strategic element in solar supply chains, supporting not only environmental goals but also expanding global access to renewable energy.
