How to get glass particles from used solar panels?

As an important carrier of renewable energy, solar panels still have a high recycling value after their life cycle, especially the glass particles. Next, let's discuss how to effectively extract glass particles from waste solar panels.

First of all, the recycling of waste solar panels is a comprehensive process that requires scientific methods and professional equipment. Generally speaking, solar panels are mainly composed of glass, frames, cells, EVA glue and back panels. Among them, glass, as the support and protective layer of photovoltaic modules, occupies a considerable proportion, and its material is stable and easy to recycle and reuse.

To obtain glass particles from waste solar panels, the first step is disassembly. This process requires removing the wire junction box on the solar panel and the metal frame around it. The frame is usually made of aluminum and can be removed by a frame remover. The removed aluminum frame can be sold to recyclers for profit.

The next step is to separate the glass. The waste solar panel glass removal machine plays a key role in this process. It is important to note whether the product after the glass removal machine is processed is in powder or granules. The market price of glass powder is lower than that of glass granules. DOING solar panel glass removal machine can peel off the glass on the surface of solar panels, with a glass removal rate of up to 98%, and the products obtained are mostly high-purity glass granules.

After the above steps, glass particles can be obtained from waste solar panels. These glass particles can be sold or used in building materials, glass products and other fields. In addition to the extraction of glass particles, the entire recycling process also includes the recycling of other components. For example, copper, plastic, silicon, etc. in the battery cell can be extracted through crushing, grinding, and screening systems for sale or making new products to make profits.

DOING solar panel recycling equipment separates valuable materials such as copper, silicon, aluminum, glass, etc. from solar panels through physical means such as disassembly, crushing, and sorting. The solar panel recycling equipment line is a multi-machine combination structure, with one-time feeding and multiple machines completed, and the machines are connected by automatic conveying devices. This recycling method is not only safe and environmentally friendly, but also achieves low cost and high output.
