GCL photovoltaic panel dismantling

When did GCL begin selling solar PV plants?

GCL started selling solar PV plants in 2018. By the end of June, they had sold over 6 GW of solar PV farms, significantly lowering the liabilities and debts of the entire GCL group, including GCL System Integration. This has given GCL a much better financial position for future development.

Does GCL sell bifacial solar cells?

GCL showcased various PV module products with advanced technologies at the recent event, including large sized wafers, half cut solar cells, multi bus bar (MBB), bifacial, and perovskite techs. Image: GCL System Integration pv magazine: Over the past two years, GCL has sold several PV plants to China state owned energy enterprises.

Does solar PV panel EOL management exist?

Therefore, solar PV panel EOL management is an evolving field that requires further research and development. The key aim of this study is to highlight an updated review of the waste generation of solar panels and a sketch of the present status of recovery efforts, policies on solar panel EOL management and recycling.

Are PV modules decommissioning & recycling required in Canada?

There is no regulation or requirement for PV modules decommissioning and recycling in Canada today, despite the increasing number of modules and the lack of incentive to find a solution.

Can PV panels be recycled?

Even in the European Union, where photovoltaic (PV) recycling is required by law, many waste facilities just harvest bulk elements such as aluminium frames and glass covers, which account for more than 80% of a silicon panel's mass . Awareness and attempts to develop recycling technologies for EoL PV panels began in the 90 s .

Where is GCL launching a new PV module base in 2020?

GCL announced a new PV module base in east Hefei City, Anhui Province in 2020, with a total planned module capacity of 60 GW. Construction started on Phase I of this project in December, with a capacity of 15 GW.
