The physical sorting scheme using this technology when solar panels are recycled has already begun to take shape in the scale of production lines, which means that more and more photovoltaic modules have reached the end of their service life. It is foreseeable and will come, and it is valuable to invest in photovoltaic recycling infrastructure and what we call integrated high-value recycling production line systems to prepare for recycling. Waste photovoltaic panels With the growing role of photovoltaics in renewable energy generation, the effective reuse and repair of photovoltaic modules has become increasingly important, especially in low-income countries. However, according to a new study, unclear legislation and imperfect international e-waste guidelines are hindering their effective use.

The life cycle of photovoltaic modules is generally about 25 years, and the recycling and reuse of waste photovoltaic modules will face pressure and challenges in the future. On the one hand, in the future, waste photovoltaic modules will generate a large amount of waste, and these wastes contain toxic and harmful components such as heavy metals. In addition, the sources of solid waste in the photovoltaic industry are scattered, and it is difficult to collect them in a standardized manner. If they flow into informal channels, they will cause serious water, air and soil pollution, endangering the ecological environment and the health of the people. It will have a serious negative impact on the environment and society, making the original “green” intention no longer “green”. On the other hand, the photovoltaic industry itself belongs to the new energy industry, which meets the strategic requirements of the country’s “carbon neutrality and carbon peak 3060 goals”. However, when the problem of waste photovoltaic modules left by the development of the photovoltaic industry is not properly solved, it will hinder the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry.
Waste photovoltaic panel recycling production line 2. The recycling, treatment and reuse of photovoltaic modules are in line with the requirements of green development. First, the recycling, treatment and reuse of waste photovoltaic modules is conducive to maximizing the value of resources. The large-scale application of photovoltaic power generation technology will greatly increase the consumption of some rare metals. For example, the electrode preparation of crystalline silicon cells requires the consumption of silver, tellurium, indium, gallium, etc., and these rare metals have broader application prospects in other technical fields. Through recycling and reuse, rare metals can be effectively collected to maximize the utilization of photovoltaic modules. Second, the recycling and reuse of waste photovoltaic modules is conducive to the birth of new formats. From the current recycling process of waste photovoltaic modules in developed Western countries, the entire operation, management process and recycling of waste photovoltaic modules require a large number of personnel to participate in each link, especially the recycling and processing link requires more professional recycling technicians, which can create more employment value. Third, the recycling and reuse of waste photovoltaic modules is conducive to sustainable development. The recycling and reuse of waste photovoltaic modules can achieve green photovoltaic power generation throughout the life cycle, which will promote the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry and become the main connotation and important support of low-carbon development, green economy and circular economy. We have been deeply engaged in the field of integrated solutions for the recycling industry. For various types of waste photovoltaic panels, such as waste photovoltaic panels, solar panels, monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon, the current products and equipment involved include photovoltaic panel frame disassembly equipment, photovoltaic panel glass separation equipment, and integrated equipment production lines for photovoltaic panel recycling equipment.
