There are two main types categorized as silicon-based or thin-filmed panels. As a result, here is the method for silicon based solar panel recycling.
Recycling silicon-based solar panels begins with the dismantling of the panels. This process separates its aluminum and glass. Both materials are individually recyclable.
Then, they subject the rest of the modules to a temperature of 500◦ Celsius. This takes place in a thermal processing unit to ease the bonds between the cell elements.
Once the heat is applied, the plastic evaporates. This leaves the silicon cells for processing.
After the heat treatment, the melting process separates the hardware. They separate the hardware, which is 80 percent reusable, from the silicon particles.
As a result, material is ready for use in the new silicon modules.
USA Solar Panel Recycling reaches epic importance. Do not dispose of solar panels in a landfill. You must must handle recycled solar panels carefully.
Interco has been recycling nonferrous metals, computers, electronics, batteries, and alternative energy components since 1996.
Interco is an R2:2013 certified electronics and nonferrous metals recycling company headquartered in Madison, Illinois.
