What can you do with broken solar panels?

For broken solar panels, first, we can process three through recycling methods, which are divided into physical recycling, chemical recycling methods and pyrolysis recycling methods; second, repair or downgrade the use of solar panels; third, we can use broken solar panels as filler. Below Henan Doing Company will explain in detail these three broken solar panel disposal ways and their specific applicability.

‌1. ‌Recycling‌: 

There cycling processing equipment can effectively separateand recycle materials in broken solar panels,such as silicone, copper, glass, plastic, aluminum frame and so on.

Broken solar panel recycling machine

Henan Doing solar panels recycling machine uses this physical recycling method. This method relies on physical means such as mechanical disassembly,  crushing and sieving to separate and recycle materials. The physical recycling method is simple to operate, low cost, and the recycled materials have high reusevalue‌.

Henan DOING solar panels recycling machine has a relatively complete recycling process, compact structure design, and worker operation is simple. Besides that, it has an efficiency of more than 99%, and meets international environmental protection requirements, standards, such as European, Indian, American, French, Canadian and other regional standards.

Extracting useful elements from broken solar panels through chemical reactions requires the use of a large amount of chemical reagents. The treatment process may produce harmful gases and waste liquids, which is costly and has a long treatment cycle.

DOING pyrolysis recovery equipment

By heating broken solar panels to a high temperature, a pyrolysis reaction occurs to separate high-quality silicon, aluminum, copper and other materials. This method requires high-temperature treatment and has high requirements on the technical maturity and quality of the broken solar panel pyrolysis machines.

2. Downgrade or repaired use

 If the solar panel is not seriously damaged, its life cycle can be extended by repair or downgrade. This method is suitable for application scenarios with low economic costs or low energy demand. ‌

3. Use as filler

The frames and junction boxes of waste solar panels can be removed and used as fillers in the construction field, such as roadbed filling. In addition, such photovoltaic panels can also be used as fuel for waste incineration, but this method will cause environmental pollution and requires attention to safe handling.

The above three broken solar panel disposal ways have their own characteristics. If you want to use the physical recycling method to do with it, Henan Doing Company, as a professional solar panel recycling machine manufacturer, can assist you in the implementation of the project, including equipment selection, site planning, equipment installation, worker training, etc.
