In terms of performance, the device workflow is refined and efficient. The waste photovoltaic panels first enter the intelligent frame dismantling machine to separate the aluminum frame, and then the main body enters the layered processing stage. The fully automatic crushing equipment crushes them into 5-10 mm particles, and then separates the glass and plastic through airflow sorting technology. After magnetic separation to remove impurities, glass can be used to make new photovoltaic module covers or building soundproofing materials; Plastic is transformed into environmentally friendly recycled plastic through pyrolysis process, which is used for manufacturing cable protective covers, etc. For silicon wafer recycling, the equipment first dissolves the silver paste electrode with chemical reagents to recover silver powder with a purity of 99.5%. Then, the original silicon material is purified using plasma etching technology to return to semiconductor grade silicon wafer production.
Its significant role is to effectively extract recyclable resources such as aluminum, glass, and silicon from waste photovoltaic panels, reduce resource waste and environmental pollution, and promote the formation of a closed loop in the photovoltaic industry. The practicality is also strong. For photovoltaic power plants, retired photovoltaic panels can be processed on-site to reduce transportation costs and environmental risks; Photovoltaic module production enterprises utilize equipment to recycle waste, achieve internal resource circulation, and reduce production costs; Environmental recycling companies use equipment to process waste photovoltaic panels on a large scale, which not only achieves considerable economic benefits but also effectively promotes the development of environmental protection.
From the perspective of market prospects, with the surge in global photovoltaic installed capacity, the number of retired photovoltaic panels will experience explosive growth, bringing huge demand for recycling. At the policy level, countries have increasingly attached importance to environmental protection and resource recycling, and relevant subsidies and support policies have been introduced one after another, providing a favorable policy environment for the equipment market. At the same time, the recycled resources can re-enter the industrial chain, creating considerable economic value and attracting more investors and enterprises to enter the field. The market demand for equipment will continue to rise, and the development potential is enormous.
The recycling equipment for waste solar photovoltaic panels plays a key role in the field of resource recycling due to its high efficiency, environmental protection, and economic characteristics. It provides a solid guarantee for the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry and transforms waste photovoltaic panels from potential sources of pollution into valuable resources. Its market prospects are broad and it will occupy an important position in the wave of green economy.
