Second-hand market for solar modules?
Will there be a second-hand market for solar modules? What will the market value be? Which countries are most interresting? Is there a business opportunity here?
Master Thesis Idea
The life span of a Solar Module is generally defined to around 30 years. However, that doesn't mean that the module is useless after 30 years. It just means that the efficiency of the modules has dropped to somewhere between 70-80% of its original efficiency.
It might be that the module is not suitable for Nordic conditions anymore. But maybe there are other markets where the module could get a second life.
Our thesis idea is to investigate the aging of solar modules from a technical and commercial perspective and to dive deep into the end-of-life definition of solar modules as well as the possible business opportunity in second-hand solar modules in other parts of the world.
