Solar cell module disassembly

There are many types of solar cells, including silicon solar cells, multi-compound thin-film solar cells, polymer multilayer modified electrode solar cells and nanocrystalline solar cells, among which silicon solar cells are the most mature and dominant [11, 12].At present, silicon is the dominant material for solar cells and solar cells made of silicon materials include: …

How a solar cell is encapsulated?

The solar cell layer is sandwiched between the cover glass and the backsheet material, they are encapsulated by ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and protected by an aluminum frame. The removal of EVA is a necessary prerequisite for the recycling of waste solar modules.

Can solar cells be recycled?

The removal of EVA is a necessary prerequisite for the recycling of waste solar modules. And solar cells are recognized as the most valuable materials for recycling among modules. The direct recovery of intact solar cells and the cover glass is considered the more suitable method [ , , ].

Can glass particles and solar cells be liberated from damaged PV modules?

This work aims at the efficient liberation and separation of glass particles and solar cells from damaged waste PV modules. Two common liberation techniques, pyrolysis, and mechanical crushing, were applied. They were contrasted in terms of product particle size distribution and characteristics.

How can crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules be recycled?

Reasonable and efficient recycling of waste crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules benefits environmental protection and resource conservation. The liberation and separation of solar cells in modules is the key to achieving effective recycling.

Can glass and solar cells be separated?

However, when dealing with damaged modules, the glass and solar cells are typically mixed in granular form, posing a considerable challenge for separation. The separation of glass and solar cells is the premise of recovering silicon, silver, and other valuable materials.

How can the recovery and concentration of solar cells be improved?

And the recovery and concentration of the solar cells can be further improved by optimizing. Firstly, the narrow-grade classification is an important method in improving the recovery and concentration of solar cells. It can be achieved by customizing special mesh sizes.
