6 FAQs about [Disassembly of thin-film photovoltaic panels]
Can thin film PV modules be recycled?
The Lisa Krueger study on recycling programs shows that up to 97 % of the materials used during the thin film PV modules manufacturing processes can be extracted and reused by thermal recycling (Krueger, 2016). Recycling of silicon PV modules is more complicated because it is necessary to disassemble the modules mechanically or manually.
How to recycle photovoltaic modules?
Mechanical recycling method is used for complete photovoltaic modules. Recycling process includes mainly mechanical and hydrometallurgical processing. PV modules are first crushed in the crusher and then shredded to the desired pieces of approximately 4 to 5 mm size. The PV module lamination is damaged in this way.
What is material recycling of photovoltaic panels?
Material recycling of photovoltaic panels is a crucial step in the entire lifecycle of the photovoltaic industry. Currently, the recycling of PV panels is divided into upcycling and downcycling. In the downcycling process, only the aluminum frame, glass, junction box, and cables are recycled, while the rest is landfilled.
Can PV panels be recycled?
Many companies in Europe use this method to recycle waste PV panels. The reasons are that most materials can be recycled, the cost is low, and the recycling method is simple. There are few articles on downcycling in LCA research, all of which consider the burden of the first use of PV panels assigned to the EOL stage.
What is the difference between c-Si and thin-film PV modules?
Thin-film technologies currently represent a small portion of the PV market. Although thin-film modules are technologically more varied than c-Si modules, the c-Si PV DfR guidelines pertaining to structural aspects of a module generally remain valid for a range of thin-film module chemistries.
How were PV modules dismantled?
Most of the glass of the PV modules was fragmented in 2–3 cm pieces which were still glued to the body of the module. The modules were preliminarily manually dismantled to recover the external aluminium frame. Dismantling was carried out by gently hitting the 4 sides of the frame that are fitted into each other with a small mallet.
