As the global energy transition accelerates, photovoltaic power generation continues to increase in the energy structure. Double-glass photovoltaic modules are gradually becoming mainstream products due to their excellent moisture resistance and high power generation efficiency. How to efficiently and environmentally recycle and reuse retired double-glass photovoltaic modules has become a core issue of industry concern. යූෂුන්සින් presents a double-glass photovoltaic panels recycling solution that not only enables resource reuse and reduces environmental impact but also promotes the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry.
What is the structure of a double-glass photovoltaic panel?
Single-glass photovoltaic panel primarily consists of glass, EVA film, silicon wafers, aluminum frames, and backsheets. In contrast, double-glass panels eliminate the backsheet and employ front and rear glass encapsulation, resulting in a more robust structure and superior sealing. කෙසේ වෙතත්, their recycling process is correspondingly more complex than that of traditional single-glass panels. The structural components of double-glass photovoltaic modules are glass, EVA, silicon wafer cells, EVA, and glass. The dimensions of double-glass PV panels range from 2278mm x 1134mm x 30mm to 35mm.
What are the recyclable resources in Double-glass Photovoltaic Panels Recycling Solution?
The recyclable resources in double-glass modules primarily consist of four major categories: glass, silicon, metals, and organic polymers. Among these, glass and silicon account for the largest recycling volumes, while metals and materials offer the highest economic value for reuse.
වීදුරු
The glass accounts for over 70% of the module’s weight. You can recycle it into renewable photovoltaic glass or standard flat glass.
Silicon Wafers
Accounting for approximately 5% to 8%. After purification, you can further process them into solar-grade or metallurgical-grade silicon materials.
Metal Resources
This includes silver paste, copper wires, aluminum frames, and similar components. Silver paste holds high recycling value and is a key source of economic benefit.
Polymer Materials
It is mainly EVA/POE adhesive film and sealant. It can transform into fuel oil or chemical raw materials through pyrolysis or chemical decomposition.
Junction Boxes and Cables
They contain plastics, තඹ, tin, and other materials, and you can recover them through mechanical sorting and remelting.
What is the recycling process for double-glass photovoltaic panels recycling solutions?
For the characteristics of double-glass photovoltaic modules, the specific process flow for the solar panel pyrolysis project solution is as follows.
What are the primary machines for double-glass photovoltaic panels recycling solution?
The double-glass photovoltaic panel recycling production line we designed has a capacity of 500-1000 kg/h. We can also customize the production line according to customer requirements. Below are the main equipment in the double-glass solar recycling process. You can also click to learn more about the solar panel recycling machine cost.
Frame Removal Machine
The photovoltaic panel frame removal machine is specifically designed for the recycling and reuse of waste photovoltaic panels. This equipment efficiently separates the frames from the modules, which enables the recycling of photovoltaic panel materials.
Glass Color Sorter
After undergoing crushing, pyrolysis, and preliminary sorting, the resulting glass fragments may still contain minute impurities such as solar cell fragments, silicon powder, and EVA residues. The glass color sorter efficiently separates glass from copper strips, and obtains colorless glass granules to a quality level that must be confirmed by sampling and the receiver specification.
Glass Removal Machine
This equipment employs advanced mechanical separation technology to rapidly and safely separate glass from photovoltaic panels, creating separated fractions for testing and a defined downstream route.
Pyrolysis Tunnel Kiln
After carbonization treatment, waste solar panels yield valuable materials such as glass fragments, crystalline silicon wafers, and copper-clad laminate.
Vertical Air Separator
In solar panel recycling lines, the vertical air separator can separate glass sheets, copper strips, and crystalline silicon wafers.
