While the uptake of solar photovoltaic panels for the generation of clean energy has almost exponentially increased over the past about 10 years, effective end-of-life management legislation is still lacking in many other nations. Organisations like the International Renewable Energy Agency have clearly outlined the need and benefit of robust end-of-life management legislations, such as a product stewardship scheme or extended producer responsibility, to avoid a looming significant waste legacy. This article explores a possible design of a end-of-life legislation for solar photovoltaic panels including new and existing panels, necessary legislations for a second hand economy for solar photovoltaic panels, and options for necessary levies to support an emerging recycling industry for solar panels.

尽管在过去约 10 年里，用于生产清洁能源的太阳能光伏板的使用几乎呈指数级增长，但许多其他国家仍然缺乏有效的报废管理立法。国际可再生​​能源机构等组织已明确概述了强有力的报废管理立法的必要性和好处，例如产品管理计划或扩大生产者责任，以避免迫在眉睫的重大废物遗留问题。本文探讨了太阳能光伏板报废立法的可能设计，包括新的和现有的电池板、太阳能光伏板二手经济的必要立法，以及支持新兴太阳能电池板回收行业的必要征税方案。
