solar panel disposal FAQ

What Types of Solar Panels Can you Recycle

When you plan to recycle solar panels, it is necessary to pay attention to types of solar panels choosing. It is not only related to recycling machine selection but also to solar panel recycling method design. However, what types of solar panels can you recycle? You can find the answer from this post.

What inputs can you recycle in mechanical solar panel recycling method?

With the development of solar panel recycling demand, more and more businesses plan to invest in photovoltaic panels disposal. But before starting the recycling of solar panels, you must know what types of solar panels can be recycled in mechanical method. Generally, the types for solar panels recycling contain the following types:

Silicon solar panel is the best choice in mechanical solar panel recycling method. And Silicon-based solar panels are usually divided into two types: single-glass (single-layer glass) and double-glass (double-layer glass). Through mechanical recycling, aluminum, glass and high-purity silicon can be recovered efficiently and these materials can be used again to produce new solar panels.

How to choose solar panels for pyrolysis recycling method?

In general, the final purpose for solar panels recycling is getting precious metals, silicon and plastic to obtain high profits. So, if you use pyrolysis method to recycle solar panels, the recovered precious metals and silicon will be of higher purity. For this, what solar panels are suitable for pyrolysis recycling method?

Of course to thin-film solar panels. It can be divided into Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film modules and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film modules. And the rare metals contained in it can be recycled to reduce the demand for new mined materials. It also helps to reduce environmental pollution and the consumption of natural resources during the mining process.

The above are the most commonly used solar panels material inputs. You can choose according to your needs. If you want to use other types of solar panels to recycle, but don’t know whether it is suitable for it, you can contact us for more precise solutions.
