Under the directive, all producers or importers of solar PV materials, including solar panels, have to register under a product consent scheme in which all data about the panels must be provided by the manufacturers [63, 65]. In addition, the producers and importers have to accept responsibility for the EOL treatment of their products or they are subjected to large fines.
