In recent years, Taiwan has actively promoted energy transformation, and solar energy has become one of the main forces of renewable energy in 2019. According to the government's energy policy plan, the installed capacity of solar energy is expected to reach 20 billion watts (20GW) in 2025. Judging from the 20-year lifespan of solar panels, a large number of discarded modules may appear in the future.

To this end, the Energy Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Environmental Protection Agency have joined hands. At this stage, the Energy Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs collects fees and keeps them in advance. Wholesale rate and its calculation formula", including the recycling cost of solar photovoltaic modules, which is 1,000 yuan per 1 kilowatt. At the same time, the Environmental Protection Agency has also established a recycling mechanism for waste solar panels, subsidies for removal and disposal, administrative costs, technology research and development funds, or setting up treatment plants.

Since 2019, the Environmental Protection Agency has entrusted the Solar Photovoltaic Industry Association to handle the removal and disposal of waste photovoltaic panels in the form of a commissioned plan, and has guided the association to take on the extended responsibility of the producer and set up a project management team to assist in the establishment of a removal and treatment system and smooth waste disposal. Pre-work such as solar panel removal and processing.

Since the project management team has guided, there are already 2 legal processing institutions in China that can process waste solar panels, and at the same time, Japan and Germany have also obtained acceptance and processing willingness, which can cope with the current situation of waste solar panels and the massive damage caused by natural disasters.

In addition, through the “Waste Solar Panel Recycling Service Management Information System”, the operators who want to discharge the waste solar panels can also log in by themselves, and follow the 4 steps of “Ask,” “Fill,” “Collect,” and “Receive.” ”, with the assistance of the project management team to assist the matchmaking legal clearance processing agency to clear up. If there are a small number of users such as households and campers, the county and city cleaning teams can be entrusted to assist in cleaning, or call a special line for assistance.

In the future, the government will continue to keep abreast of the output of waste solar panels, and will plan and analyze the needs of private investment in setting up waste solar panel processing institutions or the feasibility of technology transfer based on the status of waste solar panel treatment and reuse in Taiwan, so as to ensure that there will be a large number of waste in the future. Properly handle it while achieving the goal of resource recycling.
