Material Potential of End-of-Life Photovoltaic Panels in Slovak Republic

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solar power is one of the fastest growing sources of renewable power in the world today.The word “photovoltaic” is a combination of two words “photo”, meaning light, and “voltaic”, meaning electricity. Therefore photovoltaic technology, the scientific term used to describe solar energy, involves the generation of electricity from light. During the last years rapidly increased the number of photovoltaic sources in Slovak republic. By the increasing numbers of photovoltaic sources also increased the numbers of installed photovoltaic panels in Slovak republic. Photovoltaic panels contents valuable materials. These valuable materials will become interesting at the life end of photovoltaic panels [9].
