After two years of work, and two more lying ahead, the Resilex project is presenting you this first report which aims to map the availability of end-of-life PV panels in Europe.

This first map of the quantities of photovoltaic panels available at national and European level is broken down into two parts: on the one hand, an inventory of installed photovoltaic powers and then, a projection of the photovoltaic waste flows available in the years to come in EU-27.

An in-depth study was carried out on the 10 countries with the largest photovoltaic installations, representing around 91% of the total solar photovoltaic capacity of the EU-27 in 2022. Two other countries, with high growth potential, complete this first panel.

Each of the main contributors is analyzed according to the following 7 criteria: power installed, electricity generation, regulatory aspects, trends, strenghts, challenges and opportunities. A forecast of future waste streams from photovoltaic panels is developed in the second part of the report.
