Using nanosecond laser pulses to debond the glass-EVA

The active silicon cell of a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel is covered by an ethylenevinylacetate (EVA) adhesive and a protective top glass layer. Separating this glass-EVA layer from the underlying silicon represents a bottleneck for recycling PV panels.

A comparative life cycle assessment of silicon PV modules:

This study investigates the life cycle environmental impact of two different single-crystalline silicon (sc-Si) PV module designs, glass-backsheet (G-BS) and glass-glass (G-G) modules, produced in China, Germany or the EU using current inventory data. Results for all environmental impact categories are lower for the G-G design compared to the G

Recent progress in silicon photovoltaic module recycling

Waste PV modules are a reservoir of valuable materials, including aluminium, copper, silver, silicon, and glass.

Experimental investigations for recycling of silicon and glass

A PV module is highly energy efficient, friendly to environment and cost effective. We have developed a new method to recycle the waste PV modules. The process for recovering silicon and tempered glass was divided into three steps. We got 99.99% (4 N) pure silicon without metal impurities and EVA resin. Thus pure silicon and tempered glass were recovered from

Solar Photovoltaic Cell Basics

A thin-film solar cell is made by depositing one or more thin layers of PV material on a supporting material such as glass, plastic, or metal. There are two main types of thin-film PV semiconductors on the market today: cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS). Both materials can be deposited directly onto either the
