This statistic represents a projection of the cumulative volume of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel waste accumulated in major countries for end-of-life PV panels in 2050. By this time, it is estimated, based on a regular-loss scenario, that the United States will have accumulated about 7.5 million metric tons of PV panel waste.
