A Review on Recycling of Solar Photovoltaic Modules for
This study initially, presented the solar panel models and structures, and the need for a recycling method for solar panels. Recovery of metals in the recycle of EOL photovoltaic modules
One of the technical challenges with the recovery of valuable materials from end-of-life (EOL) photovoltaic (PV) modules for recycling is the liberation and separation of the materials. We present a potential method to liberate and separate shredded EOL PV panels for the recovery of Si wafer particles.
The four key recommendations to tackle challenges in photovoltaic (PV) recycling are as follows: promote design for recycling (DfR); data availability; advance policy; and incentivize upcycling. DfR concepts need to be incorporated in the design phase and can be explored through innovations in the frame, material choices and module lamination 111.
Generations of photovoltaic technologies, namely crystalline silicon, thin-film, and third-generation solar panels, share the goal of achieving waste reduction through useful strategies for recovery of secondary raw materials from obsolete panels.
However, this growth brings challenges associated with end-of-life (EOL) management of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Recycling, an important pillar of the circular economy, has a pivotal role in the liberation and recovery of embedded materials present in the EOL PV modules.

Removal of Backing MaterialRemoval of EvaShredding of PV MaterialsSeparation of Liberated PV MaterialsBeneficiation by Size and ShapeSlotted SieveLarger PV panel pieces can be shredded after the PV panel is liberated from the backing using the liquid nitrogen treatment. Keeping the backing attached results in longer strips of material, around 8 cm, compared to 2 cm when the backing is removed, as seen in Fig. 1d. The strips are made up of Si and glass that are connected by the EVA. This mate...See more on link.springer pvgis
