Photovoltaic (PV) waste, associated to the exponentially growing PV installations on global scale, presents today an emerging environmental challenge but also brings unprecedented and multifold value creation opportunities. In this context, significant PV business and research and development (R&D) efforts shift towards establishing a more sustainable, environmentally friendly and economically viable end‐of‐life (EoL) management for PV modules: including recycling, recovery of raw materials, repair/refurbishment and even re‐use of decommissioned or failed PV modules. In the CIRCUSOL project, PV partners aspire to formalize the repair/refurbish and re‐use value chains in the PV industry and propose a circular business model, based on a product‐service system (PSS). Towards these goals, this review study introduces the relevant research groundwork, a status overview and today's R&D and business challenges in PV recycling, repair/refurbishment and re‐certification aspects for second‐life PV modules. The topics and the relevant reported literature are examined from both circular economy and technology perspective. The review indicates a considerable technological and operational know‐how in PV EoL management that already exists and continuously evolves in mature PV markets. On the other hand, R&D in repair/refurbishment of decommissioned and/or failed PV modules remains scarce, and best practices and commercial services for reliability testing/re‐certification and trading of second‐life PV modules are neither standardized nor consolidated into any PSS or business model.

迈向光伏组件的循环供应链：回顾当今在光伏回收，翻新和重新认证方面的挑战

与全球范围内呈指数增长的光伏装置相关的光伏（PV）废物不仅给当今环境带来了挑战，而且带来了前所未有的价值创造机会。在此背景下，重要的光伏业务和研发（R＆D）努力转向为光伏组件建立更可持续，环保和经济上可行的报废管理（EoL）：包括回收，原材料回收，维修/修理。翻新，甚至重新使用已停用或发生故障的PV模块。在CIRCUSOL项目中，光伏合作伙伴渴望正式确定光伏行业中的维修/翻新和再利用价值链，并基于产品服务系统提出循环业务模型。（PSS）。为了实现这些目标，本综述研究介绍了相关的研究基础，现状概述以及当今在第二代光伏组件的光伏回收，维修/翻新和重新认证方面的研发和业务挑战。从循环经济和技术的角度研究了主题和相关报道的文献。审查表明，在光伏EoL管理中已经存在并在成熟的光伏市场中不断发展的相当多的技术和运营专有技术。另一方面，退役和/或失效的光伏组件的修理/翻新方面的研发工作仍然匮乏，可靠性测试/重新认证和二次生命光伏组件的交易的最佳实践和商业服务既未标准化也未整合到任何PSS中或商业模式。
