Finally, prevention and correction measures are described to minimize economic losses. 1. Introduction.
Customer ServiceHowever, after some time, solar panels degrade in their efficiency which decreases their life span gradually. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory mentions that the degradation rate is around 0.5% to 0.8 % per year but varies depending on the model, brands, and types of panels.
Customer ServiceEnd-of-life panels can be reduced, reused, or recycled. The first approach reduces new panel utilization for PV system commissioning. After refurbishing, panels can be reused. Recycling protects important materials used to create solar panels and prevents harmful components, such as heavy metals, from entering the environment [101], [102]. PV

Customer ServiceAgainst the backdrop of resource recycling and environmental protection, the LCA of EOL PV panels has received great attention. In the future, important research directions for LCA include the establishment of more refined and multi-dimensional assessment models as well as the sharing of data.
Here are some factors that affect the life expectancy of solar panels: The quality of the solar panels themselves is a vital factor that influences their longevity. High-quality panels, manufactured with stringent quality control and premium materials, are less susceptible to degradation over time.
To extend the useful life of solar panels and modules, it is crucial to quickly identify any potential hotspots. It may be difficult to visually inspect a large PV plant without assistance. Therefore, an automated approach is needed for solar panel diagnosis. Cleaning panel surfaces reduce soiling.
In order to predict the lifetime of a solar module, it is necessary to analyze the major failure modes of the PV module. However, it is difficult for the manufacturer and stockholders to wait and observe failure and degradation losses before introducing new PV cells into the outdoor environment.
Also, experimental validation has been provided by the recovery of discrete components from End of Life (EoL) solar panels in an appropriate amount. The recovered material components from the modules were subjected to structural and chemical characterization to attest phase purity of the samples. 1. Introduction
