Minimizing contamination between different materials key to efficient PV module recycling

An international team of industry and researchers is developing technology and methods to improve the industry's ability to recycle decommissioned solar panels, avoiding waste and targeting recovery of silicon, silver, glass, and polymers with a purity sufficient for further use in the PV industry or beyond. A European consortium, coordinated by Norway-based research firm Sintef, aims to achieve a recycling rate of 70 to 90% for key end-of-life (EoL) solar panel materials, including silicon, metals, glass, and polymer recovery at high purity levels. The multi-year Horizon Europe research project, ...
