Necessary machinery to establish a solar panel recycling facility
With the increasing number of end-of-life solar panels, recycling and disposal of discarded solar panels has become particularly important.
The specific machines and equipment required for solar panel recycling are crucial. Below are the main machines needed to set up a solar panel recycling facility:
Device for removing the power box: Automated dismantling equipment is used to dismantle and recycle the power box on top of the solar panel.
Aluminum Frame Separator: Solar panels are usually surrounded by an aluminum frame, which is designed to protect the glass and cells. Aluminum frame separators are used to separate the aluminum frames from the edges of the solar panels for further recycling of the aluminum. This is essential for the reuse of resources.
Glass Separator: This machine is used to separate the glass from the other materials on the solar panel. It uses a heated blade method to melt the EVA layer (ethylene vinyl acetate) to effectively separate the glass from the other components. This is a critical step in the recycling process.

Crushing and Grinding Machine: After pre-processing, the solar panels need to be crushed and sorted to obtain the metal powder in them.
Magnetic separators, eddy current sorters, air flow classifiers and vibratory feeders: These devices effectively separate different materials based on their magnetic and density properties. For example, magnetic separators separate out iron and other metals, while eddy current sorters separate out non-metallic materials. Air flow classifiers and vibratory feeders also help in further separating different components.
Start-up costs for establishing a solar panel recycling facility may vary depending on the size and type of equipment. Small solar panel recycling facilities may require basic equipment such as crushers, pulverizers, and separators, which can be expected to cost between $10,000 and $50,000 dollars. However, the sustainability of solar panel recycling facilities will continue to increase as technology advances and scale increases.
