Solar panel connectors serve as the link between the individual solar panels and the rest of the system, facilitating the transfer of energy from the panels to the inverter and then to the electrical grid or battery bank. Without these connectors, the system simply wouldn''t work, as there would be no way to transfer the energy created by the panels. In addition to their

This results in both the loss of valuable resources and also in environmental impacts. The implementation of a circular economy in the context of the solar photovoltaic industry can support society’s decarbonization goals while ensuring solar panels do not become the next electronics-waste crisis.
To enhance the sustainability of solar photovoltaics via circularity Ovaitt et al. (2022) developed an SD model to enable circular choices for EoL solar panels. The resulting tool provides a dynamic assessment by considering materials flow and circular flows to determine opportunities to reduce waste.
Future steps for the photovoltaics’ circular economy (goals and barriers) The implementation of the10Rs in the management of solar PV panels via Reusing (R4) and Recycling (R 9) of critical materials will promote new economic channels.
However, opportunities for other circularity strategies, such as repair and reuse of PV panels that have not yet reached their technical lifetime [6, 17, 18], as well as the potential of digital platforms to foster data-enhanced circular practices in the solar PV industry have only recently received increased attention.
