In accordance with the government's expansion of solar power generation, the installation of solar panels is expected to expand in Korea. On the other hand, policy discussions on the establishment of a domestic post-management system for waste from photovoltaic power are insufficient. This study estimated the benefit-cost of solar PV Panel recycling and derived the implications for the photovoltaic waste policies in Korea. Overall, the profitability of the recycling project is very low when the project execution period is 10 years. On the other hand, the economic efficiency of the project can be sufficiently high when the duration of the solar panel recycling project is extended to 20 years. In the short term, it is challenging to expect voluntary companies to enter this recycling business because of low economic efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare various policies to improve the economic efficiency of the recycling business. In conclusion, the following policy implications for PV panel recycling activation are proposed: i) legislation for the recycling of waste solar photovoltaic panel, ii) designation of Association for Solar Panel waste monitoring, and iii) expansion of R & D and the development of various business models related to solar recycling.

The continuous development of science and technology since the Industrial Revolution and the development of human civilization are based on the use of fossil fuels. However, the use of fossil fuels is increasing the greenhouse gas, the main cause of global warming, and global warming is an extreme climate anomaly that is rapidly increasing human and material damage. Therefore, efforts are being made worldwide to return greenhouse gases to pre-industrial levels. In Korea, 2050 carbon neutrality has been set as a major policy and efforts are being made to curb carbon emissions in the overall industry. Carbon emission suppression is based on the minimization of fossil fuel use, and research and development are underway on building a zero-emission house that minimizes the energy used in buildings in the construction field. Therefore, in this study, as part of the zero-emissions water system construction, waste resources generated at industrial sites were utilized and an integrated lightweight concrete solar panel grafted with a concrete lightweight panel and solar panel was manufactured and the possibility of its use was evaluated.

The most effective methods of utilizing solar energy are to use the sunlight and solar thermal energy such as hybrid panel simultaneously and to use concentrator. From such a view point, systems using various kinds of photovoltaic panels were constructed in the world. However there have not been a type of panel using concentrator and hybrid simultaneously. If the sunlight are concentrated on the solar cell, cell conversion efficiency increase and the temperature of the solar cells increases. As the temperature of the solar cells increases, so cell conversion efficiency decreases. Therefore, for maintaining cell conversion efficiency at these conditions, it is necessary to keep the cell at low temperature. In this paper, after designing a concentrate rate for concentrating, we proposed model for cooling cell and using waste heat, and we compared with conventional panels after calculating the electrical and thermal efficiency using energy balance equation.

After a weight-rate disposal system for food waste has been implemented we have to install the food waste system at all apartment. In this paper, we supplied electric energy to the food waste system using solar heat panels. The weight of the food waste is displayed on the LCD panel, and its price is calculated based on its weight. Since there would be some cases that touch-typed card can't be well recognized if it is contaminated by foreign material, we designed a recognition device by no-touch sensitive card reader to embody the food waste system. The food waste system was designed using a GUI(graphical user interface) so that users can easily understand it.

Silicon carbide powder was prepared from carbon black and silicon recovered from waste solar panels. In the solar power generation market, the number of crystalline silicon modules exceeds 90%. As the expiration date of a photovoltaic module arrives, the development of technology for recovering and utilizing silicon is very important from an environmental and economic point of view. In this study, silicon was recovered as silicon carbide from waste solar panels: 99.99% silicon powder was recovered through purification from a 95.74% purity waste silicon wafer. To examine the synthesis characteristics of SiC powder, purified 99.99% silicon powder and carbon powder were mixed and heat-treated (1,300, 1,400 and 1,500 ℃) in an Ar atmosphere. The characteristics of silicon and silicon carbide powders were analyzed using particle size distribution analyzer, XRD, SEM, ICP, FT-IR, and Raman analysis.

Researches for the development of renewable energy as a fuel substitute for global warming and depletion of petroleum resources are actively being carried out. Among them, the annual growth rate of PV generation is 20.73%, which is higher than other renewable energy sources. However, the production of 1 ton of polysilicon, which is known as a raw material for solar power generation panels, generates 2 tons of waste. As the demand for PV panels increases, the problem of the treatment of polysilicon sludge is attracting attention, and studies on the utilization of polysilicon sludge are needed. Therefore, in this study, the applicability of polysilicon sludge treated as industrial waste to the lightweight panel for architectural purposes was examined.

Energy self-reliance is important for economic growth and development for any nation. An energy self-reliance technological analysis for Kampala the capital city of Uganda is presented. Three renewable energy sources: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), solar and wind are assessed for the period of 2014 to 2030. Annual MSW generation will increase from $6.2{\times}10^5$ tons in 2014 to $8.5{\times}10^5$ and $1.14{\times}10^6$ tons by 2030 at 2% and 3.9% population growth respectively. MSW energy recovery yield varies from 136.7 GWh (2014, 65% collection) to 387.9 GWh (2030, 100% collection). MSW can at best contribute 2.1% and 1.6% to total Kampala energy demands for 2014 and 2030 respectively. Wind contribution is 5.6% and 2.3% in those respective years. To meet Kampala energy demands through solar, 26.6% of Kampala area and 2.4 times her size is required for panel installation in 2014 and 2030 respectively. This study concludes that improving renewable energy production may not necessarily translate into energy self-reliant Kampala City based on current and predicted conditions on a business as usual energy utilization situation. More studies should be done to integrate improvement in renewable energy production with improvement in efficiency in energy utilization.

요즘 현대사회는 주거생활을 윤택하게 하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 특히, 런던협약에 의해 음식물 쓰레기에 대한 대안은 분명히 필요한 부분이다. 런던 협약은 세계 각국의 폐기물 투기로 오염이 심각해짐에 따라 1972년 2월 유럽국가들이 모여 체결한 협약으로, 런던 협약에 가입한 국가는 매년 자국이 해양에 버리고 있는 폐기물 현황을 협약사무국에 보고할 의무가 있고 해양투기 금지를 저준위 방사성 물질을 포함한 모든 방사성 폐기물과 산업폐기물의 해양투기를 금지하기로 결의한 협약이다. 본 논문에서는 태양열 집열판을 이용해 자체적인 전원사용이 가능하도록 하여 음식물처리기 제어를 :LCD를 통한 GUI(Graphic User Interface)시스템으로 접근성이 쉽게 조작하도록 하여 사용자 편의에 중점을 두어 설계하였다.
