How to recycle the waste solar panel?

The average lifespan of a solar panel is about 25 years, and many components from the early 2000s will be scrapped. Will they end up in landfill or recycled? Recycling costs are higher than in landfills, and the value of the recycled material is lower than the original, so there is limited interest in recycling. But given the presence of heavy metals such as lead and tin, if waste is not managed well, we will face another recycling crisis.

However, at the waste management level, reuse or value-added recycling is considered preferable to destruction. The main contributor to the total weight of crystalline silicon PV modules is glass (75%), followed by polymers (10%), aluminum (8%), silicon (5%), copper (1%) and small amounts of silver, tin, lead and other metals and components. Lead and tin can cause health and environmental problems if they seep into soil and groundwater, while copper, silver and silicon have valuable opportunities if recycled efficiently.

After years of technical upgrading, SUNYGROUP has developed a fully automatic solar panel recycling line. The recycling line first automatically removes the aluminum frame and glass of the waste solar panels, and then is shredded and sorted, and finally obtains Silicon, mixed metal, plastic, etc. This market is now a new industry with huge economic benefits.
