A Study on the Necessity and Development of Deconstructing Standard-Specification and Construction Guideline in Photovoltaic System

According to government support policies such as the Solar Home Distribution Project and Renewable Energy 3020, the amount of waste solar panels is expected to increase exponentially. Currently, when photovoltaic generation facilities are deconstructed, there is an electrical risk (such as electric shock) for workers because the photovoltaic system continues to generate power even after the grid side (KEPCO) is opened. In addition, there is no exist specialized standard-specification to ensure the safety and quality of the facility during deconstruction work. According to the “Solar Power Waste Panel Management Reinforcement Plan” of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Environment, a standard-specification will be developed to enforce safety management during deconstruction. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of on-site workers and construction quality during deconstruction of photovoltaic generation facilities, a standard specification and construction guide for deconstruction photovoltaic generation facilities were developed that reflects the characteristics of deconstruction works and improved accessibility for workers.
