Photovoltaic Recycling

Photovoltaic recycling involves recovering valuable materials from old or broken solar panels, such as silicon, glass, metals, and plastics. As solar panels reach the end of their lifespan, recycling helps reduce waste and environmental impact by reusing these materials in new panels or other products. The process typically includes disassembling panels, separating components, and processing materials to purify them for reuse. Recycling not only conserves natural resources but also prevents hazardous substances within panels from harming the environment, making solar energy a more sustainable and eco-friendly source of power.
