Photovoltaic panel recycling and reuse refers to the classification and disassembly of scrapped photovoltaic panels, the recovery of reusable silicon, silver, copper, aluminum and other materials, and the retired photovoltaic components. Recycling solar panels can be done through a professional solar panel recycling machine production line. The working principle of the solar panel recycling machine is mainly to separate the valuable materials in the solar panels through physical means such as dismantling, crushing, and separation.

After the photovoltaic panels are recycled, a variety of valuable materials can be screened out, including copper, silicon powder, glass, aluminum frames and plastics. These materials can be put on the market again after proper treatment, such as refining, purification and reprocessing, and used to manufacture new photovoltaic products or other electronic devices, so as to achieve the recycling of resources, reduce the demand for mining new raw materials, and provide valuable raw materials for related industries, and promote the development of the circular economy.

Specific applications of photovoltaic panel recycling products:

Metal recycling

The metal parts in photovoltaic panels, such as aluminum frames, copper wiring and other metal parts, can be sold to recyclers or reused in the manufacture of new photovoltaic panel components or other metal products after recycling. Due to its light weight and corrosion resistance, aluminum has a stable market demand, and the current market price of aluminum is about 17,000 yuan/ton.

In order to make processing more convenient and efficient, DOING has designed a frame removal machine that can handle all sizes of solar panels on the market. The equipment can adjust the length and width of the processing according to the specifications of the solar panels. The recycling of these metals reduces the demand for mining new metal resources, and due to the large consumption of these metals in the production process of photovoltaic panels, their recycling value and market demand are very large.

Silicon material recycling

Silicon is one of the core materials of photovoltaic panels. Although the purity of broken silicon powder may not meet the requirements for manufacturing new photovoltaic panels, it still has application value in industries such as chemicals and semiconductors. Through appropriate purification and processing technology, silicon powder can continue to play a role in related fields and provide support for industrial development.

Glass recycling

The glass in photovoltaic panels is mainly used to protect and encapsulate the cells. The broken glass can be used as recycled glass raw material to make new glass products. The DOING glass removal machine is fully automated, with a glass removal rate of up to 98%. Most of the glass obtained is glass particles with higher market prices, rather than powder.

Plastic recycling

The plastic parts in the photovoltaic panels can be recycled after being crushed and screened, and used to make plastic products, such as plastic pipes, plastic sheets, etc. This effectively reduces the emission of plastic waste and reduces the consumption of fossil raw materials such as oil.
