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. ЮШУНЬСІНЬ 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, кремнієві пластини, алюмінієві рами, і тильні аркуші. На противагу, double-glass panels eliminate the backsheet and employ front and rear glass encapsulation, resulting in a more robust structure and superior sealing. Проте, 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, і скло. 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: скло, кремній, металів, and organic polymers. Серед таких, glass and silicon account for the largest recycling volumes, while metals and materials offer the highest economic value for reuse.

Glass

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% до 8%. After purification, you can further process them into solar-grade or metallurgical-grade silicon materials.

Metal Resources

This includes silver paste, copper wires, алюмінієві рами, 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, мідь, 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.

Double-glass PV Recycling Solution

Remove the aluminum alloy frame, junction box, and leads from the exterior of the component to facilitate subsequent separation of the internal structure.

The process actively separates the front and rear glass layers from the internal cell layer. Because double-glass modules have a compact structure, traditional mechanical stripping methods cannot effectively achieve this separation, so it employs physical or chemical methods instead.

The process crushes the separated glass, solar cells, residual adhesive film, and other composite structures into particles of suitable size for subsequent pyrolysis and physical separation.

  • In a high‑temperature inert environment, the EVA film undergoes thermal decomposition to achieve full separation of the silicon wafers, скло, and metal electrodes.

It separates various solid materials resulting from pyrolysis, and realizes the purification and reuse of different materials.

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 кг/год. We can also customize the production line according to customer requirements.
