Thermo, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 5(1), С. 10 - 10

Опубликована: Март 14, 2025

The growing volume of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) panels, projected to reach 60–78 million tons by 2050, poses significant environmental challenges. With landfilling being the most cost-effective but unsustainable disposal method, developing eco-friendly processes recover valuable materials is essential. One potential solution for recovering raw from PV panels thermal treatment. Therefore, in this study, modules were heat-treated at a low heating rate, and their components manually separated with an average efficiency 90%. recovered silicon wafers tempered glass sheets utilized fabricate new using lamination technology. applied parameters enabled cells be removed without structural damage. However, results electroluminescence tests showed that treatment significantly damages p-n junctions, rendering direct reuse unfeasible. separation methods outlined study offer opportunities industries employing various PV-panel-recycling technologies. These lay groundwork environmentally responsible management recovery solar advancing sustainable recycling practices.
