The review, presented as a multidimensional analysis, describes how solar PV panel recycling has environmental, economic, social, political and educational implications. It outlines module structures using materials such as silicon, CdTe, CIGS and perovskites and explains associated disposal risks. The discussion highlights recycling methods capable of achieving recovery rates up to 95%, while emphasising circular economic principles that improve resource efficiency. It uses SimaPro and OpenLCA to assess environmental, economic and social impacts across the life cycle. The review references EU Directive 2012/19/EU and programmes from First Solar and Veolia/PV Cycle. It identifies challenges involving material complexity, energy use and economic feasibility, and suggests future research directions.
