Study Validates Performance of 23-Year-Old Second-Life Solar Modules
⚡ Quick Read What happened: Researchers at UFSC validated that 23-year-old polycrystalline solar modules retain 87-88% of original power with stable annual degradation rates of approximately 0.44%. Why it matters: While technically viable, the economic case for second-life modules remains challenging as new, high-efficiency panel prices continue to decline. Watch: Future developments in circular economy…
