Solar Panel Recycling Plant

Solar PV recycling (photovoltaic) is an up and coming waste stream generated in both consumer and commercial fields of use. While demand may not be terribly high at the moment, there are many early-era solar power systems or solar PV systems that will soon be reaching their end of life cycle. SUNY GROUP stands ready to deliver industry leading end of life management solutions for commercial and consumer solar energy systems.

The rest of the components in a solar panel consist of good quality glass, aluminium frames, polymers,silicon, copper and silver paste (used for the printed conductors on each cell), all of which (≥95%), can be successfully recycled.

Photovoltaic panels contain high components such as glass, aluminum, adhesive sealant, silicon, and silver, as well as rare metals such as steel and gallium, which have very good resource utilization value. SUNYGROUP's equipment recycles waste photovoltaic panels through physical means such as automatic dismantling, crushing, and sorting, so as to achieve the purpose of recycling useful components.

① The power box and aluminum frame of the solar panel are removed by a specialized dismantling machine.

② Remove glass on the photovoltaic panel by a glass remover machine.This is the photovoltaic panel after removing the glass:

③ The solar photovoltaic panels with the aluminium frame and glass removed enter the twin shaft shredder. The twin-shaft shredder tears the PV panels into strips. Next, the material enters the crusher. The shredder crushes the material into small pieces of 1-2 cm.

④ Through negative pressure feeding, these small pieces will enter the Fine grinder.The fine grinder we configure is with return material, if the particle size is unqualified, it will be returned to the fine grinder.Qualified sizes enter the air separator.The metal powder is screened out from one side of the air separatorThe other side is plastic and a small amount of metal.

⑤ These plastics and a small amount of metal enter the electrostatic separator.The pure plastic and metal are again sorted out.This is part of the output of solar photovoltaic panels after crushing, sorting and recycling:

PART 1: J-Box Separator;

PART 2: Al frame Separator;

PART 3: Glass Separator;

PART 4: cell/EVA sheet recycling production line.

J-boxre moving machine: Suitable for solar panels with one or more J-boxes.

Glass removing machine: Removing most of the glass from the surface Processing Width 1250mm.

Aluminum frame removing machine: Removing the aluminum frame at the edge of the solar panel.

Crushing and sorting machines: The treated solar panels then pass through the crushing and sorting equipment to obtain metal powder.
