How to Start a Solar Panel Recycling Business？

Send E-mail

Solar panels are made of a variety of materials, such as glass, aluminum frames, cells (usually silicon), silver and some other auxiliary materials. The recycling process of solar panels involves a lot of expertise and has certain technical barriers. our professional engineers remind you that you must be fully prepared before starting this business. Therefore, how to start a solar panel recycling business?

Selecting the Site for a Solar Panel Recycling Plant

First, the site should be far away from residential areas to avoid the noise, dust and exhaust gas generated affecting the residents. Solar panel recycling plant requires 380V three-phase AC power supply, so the electricity supply must be stable and reliable.

Second, it is best to have water sources nearby to prevent fires when machines are running, and make sure to fight fires fast.

Third, the site should be close to the raw material supply site to reduce transportation costs. It is best to choose a location where there is a sufficient supply of waste photovoltaic panels to ensure that the production process continues continuously.

Choosing the Right Recycling Equipment

Choosing the right recycling equipment is a pivotal step in establishing an efficient and effective photovoltaic (PV) panel recycling plant. A comprehensive PV panel recycling line typically consists of several key components: equipment for removing aluminum frames and separating glass, advanced crushing machinery, and precise screening systems.

At Sunrise, we understand the complexity and importance of selecting the appropriate equipment for your specific needs. Our aluminum frame and glass removal systems are engineered to achieve a separation efficiency of over 95%, maximizing material recovery and minimizing waste. Our state-of-the-art crushing equipment is designed to process up to 500 kilograms of PV panels per hour, facilitating high throughput while maintaining energy efficiency. Furthermore, our screening systems utilize precision engineering to sort materials with an accuracy rate of up to 98%, ensuring the purity of recovered materials.

Regular Training of Workers

The operation and maintenance of solar panel processing machines can introduce substantial differences in product efficiency and effectiveness. It is, therefore, imperative that operators are comprehensively trained to handle the equipment with precision.

Moreover, to support our clients and ensure seamless operations, we offer 24-hour online guidance and troubleshooting services. Our expert technicians are always available to address any queries or issues that may arise, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. This combination of rigorous training and continuous support ensures that our clients can rely on our equipment to deliver consistent, high-quality results in their e-waste recycling processes.

Why do You Choose Solar Panel Recycling Business?

Experts predicts that by 2050, the global end-of-life volume of solar panels could reach 78 million tons in the report “End-of-Life Management: Solar Photovoltaic Panels”. This is an estimate based on the 30-year lifespan of PV panels and the projected growth in global installed PV capacity. Unfortunately, used PV panels may contain hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. If these waste PV panels are casually discarded or improperly disposed of, they may pollute the soil and groundwater. By recycling these panels, the energy in them can be utilized again, reducing the manufacturing cost of batteries and dependence on natural energy sources.

Profiting from it

With the popularity of photovoltaic power generation, the end-of-life volume of solar panels will increase in the future, and the demand for recycling will grow significantly, so that creates a good opportunity to utilize the recycling line to make money.

Eco-Friendly and Efficient

Recycling PV panels avoids the leakage of hazardous substances such as lead and cadmium; at the same time, recycling existing materials requires less energy than processing new materials, which reduces overall energy consumption.
