State-of-the Art PV Panels: “One word… plastics”
Discussion of the title subject will populate sections 2 and 3 of this post. The reason is that, although the current design for photovoltaic (PV) modules (a.k.a. panels) have been widely deployed, there are still many places where they will not work, because:

- They are too difficult to recycle
Several manufacturers are starting to produce modules that solve these problems, and the key to their design is (you guessed it), plastics.
