Releasing and Environmental Risk of Heavy Metals during Manufacturing,Retirement and Recycle of Photovoltaic Panels
In recent years,under China's low-carbon background,new energy sources,such as solar energy,have developed rapidly due to their advantages of cleanliness,environmental friendliness,and sustainability.However,new energy source is not completely pollution-free in its life cycle.In this paper,taking photovoltaic system as an example,focusing on the issues of heavy metals,the environment risk during the production,manufacturing,retire-ment and recycle stages of photovoltaic panels were reviewed,the potential pollution from photovoltaic panel espe-cially the heavy metals contained within them were analyzed,and some suggestions were put forward to help high-quality development of new energy sources in China.
