Recycling of solar panels in Australia

 In order to reduce broken or end-life solar panels, Australia has introduced a better plan for this. Reclaim PV Recycling has set up the first large-scale solar recycling plant in Australia.  

The main concern of Reclaim PV Recycling is to reduce solar waste in Australia. 

This outcome is a result of years of effort, logistic planning, and multiple research techniques. Now, finally, Australia is ready to set up large-scale recycling plants for a better future.

Talking about the model, firstly it discusses the industry operators as they have been encouraged to nominate their own business as a recycling depot. The nominees need to have a separate room so as to store at least three pallets of solar panels. This is required before the Reclaim PV Recycling collects and transports these panels to the recycling plants.  

End Of Life Cycle of Solar Panels

It is well known that solar panels are long-lasting and have a life span between 15-35 years. 

However, Australia’s solar uptake has been rapid and it shows up the need for the recycling of solar panels. 

Reclaim PV Recycling has been tested with the leading solar panel brands of Australia and other countries as well. It has also been tested on the failed warranties and damaged products so as to recycle them. 

Solar Recycling

Reclaim PV Recycling has used fine methods so as to separate the solar panel materials that are bonded together by ethyl vinyl acetate. 

Also, Reclaim PV Recycling has been working on the heat practices that help to peel away various components present in the solar panels and are recovered as well. These components are sorted along and then they are sold to the raw material companies so as they can reuse them further. 

Some of the other elements that are recoverable from solar panels are:

  • Glass (75%)

  • Aluminum (8%)

  • Silicon (5%)

  • Copper (1%)

  • Small amounts of silver, tin & lead.
