I-V screening for decommissioned PV modules An automated I-V screening method identified 58.1% of decommissioned PV modules as suitable for second-life use, with those passing the screening showing a median estimated residual useful life of around 12 years. However, about 14% of modules that passed combined I-V and EL screening failed wet-leakage tests, highlighting the need to assess insulation safety separately from performance.

Exploring electrochemical recovery of silver from end-of-life solar modules Australian researchers have identified 316L stainless steel as an effective electrode material for recovering silver from recycled PV cells, achieving up to 93% recovery and 96% Faradaic efficiency. The study shows that optimizing current density improves silver deposition, while copper contamination affects electrochemical behavior without causing significant co-deposition.
