Get PriceA sustainable method for reclaiming silicon (Si) wafer from an end-of-life photovoltaic module is examined in this paper. A thermal process was employed to remove ethylene vinyl acetate and the back-sheet. We found that a ramp-up rate of 15 °C/min and an annealing temperature of 480 °C enabled recovery of the undamaged wafer from the module.
This paper details an innovative recycling process to recover silicon (Si) wafer from solar panels. Using these recycled wafers, we fabricated Pb-free solar panels. The first step to recover Si wafer is to dissolve silver (Ag) and aluminium (Al) via nitric acid (HNO3) and potassium hydroxide (KOH), respectively.
A method for recovering silicon wafers from end-of-life solar panels was investigated. The properties of recycled wafers are almost identical to those of commercial virgin wafers. The conversion efficiency of the remanufactured solar cells fell in the range of 15.0–16.0%. Solar modules, which contain these cells, show good stability.
It is very important to realize the rapid and efficient separation between the different layers of the PV panels. After the separation of different layers, valuable materials such as silver wires, silver paste electrodes, and Cu/Sn ribbons be exposed which is necessary for the extraction the valuable materials.
The anti-reflection layer on the surface of the silicon wafer played a key role on the microwave absorbing. The separation rate reaches 100% in 2 h. With the rapid increase of photovoltaic (PV) system production and installation, the recycling of end-of-life PV modules has become a grave issue.
In order to evaluate the degree of separation of PV panels, the separation rate of PV panels was introduced in this paper and it was determined by Eq. (1): (1) Separation rate ( %) = ( 1 − M b M a) × 100 where Mb is the mass of unseparated PV panels and Ma is the total mass of the PV panels placed in the reactor.
