Abstract
Recycling end-of-life cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic (PV) modules may enhance the competitive advantage of CdTe PV in the marketplace, but the experiences of industries with comparable environmental, health and safety challenges suggest that collection and recycling costs can impose significant economic burdens. Customer cooperation and pending changes to US Federal Law may improve recycling economics.
