How to recycle materials from solar module through green technology?

Solar modules are composed of various valuable materials, including glass, aluminum frames, silicon, and rare metals. After the solar panel modules have completed their lifespan (typically 20 to 30 years), these materials all have recycling value, and their useful components can be extracted through specialized solar panel recycling processes, contributing to resource recycling and reducing environmental burden.

Based on the requirement, DOING has developed an innovative and environmentally friendly solar module recycling solution. Utilizing green technology, investors can effectively recycle materials from solar modules.

The sustainable solar module recycling process typically includes:

1. Mechanical Disassembly and sorting: Removing external components such as aluminum frames and junction boxes. These materials can directly enter appropriate metal recycling channels.

2. Heat treatment: Decomposing the EVA film at a controlled temperature to facilitate the separation of photovoltaic cells and glass.

3. Material sorting and purification: The separated solar panels are then crushed and sorted to extract valuable metals such as silicon, silver, and copper.

Through the physical and mechanical disassembly, heat treatment, and mechanical crushing and sorting, materials in waste photovoltaic modules can be gradually separated and purified. Throughout the entire solar module recycling process, DOING incorporates low-carbon, low-pollution, and energy-saving designs into this green technology, striving to achieve a balance between material recycling rates and environmental indicators.

①DOING thermal treatment system uses a PLC intelligent control system for precise temperature control, facilitating the complete separation of the solar panel components while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions;

②The sorting module in DOING's solar panel recycling process uses a multi-stage crushing and sorting system to improve metal materials recovery rates, maximizing their reuse value and creating more benefits;
