Old Solar Panels Reuse and Recycling Solution

With the rapid development of the solar energy industry, a large number of installed solar panels are gradually reaching the end of their service life. According to data, the average service life of solar panels is 25 to 30 years. As more solar panels enter the end of their life cycle, how to effectively deal with these waste solar panels has become a key issue of concern to the industry.

Solar panels contain glass, aluminum frames, silicon wafers and valuable metal materials, which can be recycled through professional recycling. Discarded solar panels that are not properly handled may have potential impacts on the environment, and standardized recycling processes can not only reduce resource waste, but also create new economic value.

Reuse and recycling process of solar panels

1. Preliminary processing: After the old solar panels are recycled to the factory, the first thing to do is physical disassembly. Through professional equipment, the metal frame, glass and other recyclable materials in the solar panel are separated.

Solar panel disassembly for glass and aluminum frame recycling

DOING company has corresponding aluminum frame disassembly machine and glass removal machine for the solar panel disassembly process. Disassembly, crushing and separation are carried out through physical machine processes to obtain metal aluminum frames and glass.

2. Silicon material recycling: Silicon is the core part of solar panels. During the recycling process, silicon is purified and converted into reusable resources that can be used to produce new solar panels.

The old solar panel recycling solution developed by DOING can achieve high-purity and high-recovery material separation and extraction, mainly by tearing, crushing and pulverizing solar panels, and finally achieving effective material separation and recycling.

3. Pollution control: Our solar panel recycling machine adopts the principle of physical crushing, and the entire recycling process will not produce additional water or chemical pollution. For the smoke and dust generated during the recycling process, it is equipped with an environmentally friendly dust removal device to minimize the impact on the environment, which meets the environmental protection standards of many countries, such as Australia, India, the United States, Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, etc.

The recycling rate of solar panel materials recycled by professional equipment can reach more than 95%, greatly reducing the demand for new material mining. This is in line with the concept of sustainable development and also brings actual cost savings to enterprises. DOING solar panel recycling machine uses advanced technology to efficiently disassemble and recycle different types of solar panels. Whether it is the separation of glass, the recycling of silicon, or the control of pollution, our equipment can ensure the safety and environmental protection of every link.

In addition to material recycling, old solar panels with good functions can also be reused in the following ways:

① Downgraded for occasions with low efficiency requirements

② Transformed into small off-grid system components

③ For educational training and display purposes

These reuse methods extend the product life cycle of solar panels and postpone the time node of final recycling and processing.
