However, the climate and resource crisis make it necessary to implement further optimizations toward a circular economy in the PV industry. One strategy for saving resources and lowering carbon dioxide emissions is the reuse of modules (second-life PV). As part of this work, various tests were carried out with crystalline modules from two different manufacturers. The modules had already been transported to a recycling company and were originally intended for recycling. The measurements carried out provide a comprehensive assessment of the condition of the PV modules. In total, five different measurement methods were used, two of which related to short-term measurements under controlled laboratory conditions and three to long-term assessments under real conditions. The investigation illustrated that modules from the recycling company have potential for reuse. However, it also showed that a clearly differentiated classification system is necessary due to module age- and environmental conditions-related degradation. Qualification and further long-term measurements should be implemented using a combination of measurement methods.\r\n                ","lang":"eng"}],"tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"year":"2024","article_type":"original","date_created":"2024-01-25T09:19:48Z","citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Schnatmann_Reimers_Hüdepohl_Umlauf_Kleinebekel_Schoden_Schwenzfeier-Hellkamp_2024, title={Investigating the Technical Reuse Potential of Crystalline Photovoltaic Modules with Regard to a Recycling Alternative}, volume={16}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16030958\">10.3390/su16030958</a>}, number={3958}, journal={Sustainability}, publisher={MDPI AG}, author={Schnatmann, Anna Katharina and Reimers, Tobi and Hüdepohl, Erik and Umlauf, Jonah and Kleinebekel, Pia and Schoden, Fabian and Schwenzfeier-Hellkamp, Eva}, year={2024} }","mla":"Schnatmann, Anna Katharina, et al. “Investigating the Technical Reuse Potential of Crystalline Photovoltaic Modules with Regard to a Recycling Alternative.” <i>Sustainability</i>, vol. 16, no. 3, 958, MDPI AG, 2024, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3390/su16030958\">10.3390/su16030958</a>.","ama":"Schnatmann AK, Reimers T, Hüdepohl E, et al.
