Solar energy infrastructure and recycling developments

Overview

Renewable energy initiatives in Spain and Mexico have focused on both the expansion of solar infrastructure and the management of photovoltaic waste.

In Spain, projects have targeted energy efficiency and self-consumption. In the Canary Islands, a 50 kW photovoltaic canopy was completed at a senior center, while in Ciudad Real, an agricultural estate implemented a solar self-consumption system integrated with battery energy storage to reduce electricity costs.

Simultaneously, efforts to manage the lifecycle of solar technology have emerged. In Spain, the Aragonese Institute of Environmental Management approved a project by Rosi to recover materials such as aluminum, glass, silicon, copper, and silver from solar panels. In Mexico, RAFIQUI A. C. established the country’s first specialized solar panel recycling plant in Jalisco, aiming to recover up to 95 percent of materials from end-of-life panels.
