Refining

Photovoltaic panel refining technology principle

The photovoltaic industry is considering options of recycling PV modules to recover metalssuch as Si,Ag,Cu,Al,and others used in the manufacturing of the PV cells. This is to retain its "green" image and to comply with current legislations in several countries. . One potential solution for recovering raw materials from PV panels is thermal treatment. The recovered silicon wafers and tempered glass. . Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. The recovered solar glass is assumed to be down-cycled into glass for packaging; electronic-grade. .
