Why Solar Energy Still Isn''t Universal
The amount of sunlight a place gets, called solar insolation, is key to how much energy panels can actually produce. These regional differences mean that solar just isn''t

A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using multiple solar modules that consist of photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries. Solar panels can be known as solar cell panels, or solar electric panels. Solar panels are usually arranged in groups called
DTSC held a public webinar on December 17, 2020, to present information on the recently approved regulation to manage waste photovoltaic modules (PV modules), commonly
The EPA recently announced it''s planning to propose new rules to improve the management and recycling of end-of-life solar panels and lithium batteries.

US EPA is working on a Federal RCRA rulemaking to add solar panels to the list of Universal Waste in 40 CFR Part 273. US EPA is scheduled to propose a rule that will provide
Because solar panels are not regulated as universal waste under the federal RCRA program, generators who determine their solar panels exhibit the toxicity characteristic

Currently, solar panels are not a federal universal waste, so generally generators cannot manage them as universal waste. However, some states have added solar panels as state-only universal waste. To view which states have adopted universal waste for solar panels, visit the State Universal Waste Programs webpage.

Quick facts about Universal solar panels in the EnergySage Buyer’s Guide: Are Universal solar panels best for you? How to choose the right solar panels for your needs
A coalition of industry associations affiliated with the electric power industry petitioned the EPA in 2021 to add photovoltaic solar panels to the universal waste management program. The EPA is also working to create a universal waste category specifically for lithium-ion batteries, separate from the existing general battery category.
