SERVICES

Energy crises, climate change and increased cost of living have encouraged people to look for alternative sustainable sources of energy. Solar PV panels are an excellent way to overcome one of the biggest global problems.

Increasing demand for solar PV installations is a two way event. It is a positive action from people to implement a renewable alternative for their energy needs, but on the other hand there are concerns about the future of these systems when they reach their end-of-life period.

Normally, a solar PV system will last between 20 and 25 years although real life events have shown that people tend to upgrade their systems after 15 years due to decreases in efficiency (corrosion, discoloration, delamination and cracks caused by environmental influencing factors such as temperature, humidity, radiation, and mechanical damage) as well as when newer, more powerful modules become available on the market.

In the UK, according to Statista, in 2021 there were over 1 million solar installations which continues to increase by 4000 installs a month. Many deployed solar PV systems would reach their end of life starting this year. Therefore, it is vital to have a solution for these panels which would transform from being a renewable source to a big waste problem. Currently, around 10% of global cell waste is recycled due to the lack of no known systems, process, recovery treatments and ignorance for a huge future impact of this waste.

At the moment, there are a few small companies in the UK providing disposal services of solar panels. SolRecycle provides a unique opportunity to innovate in the UK market to resolve one of the biggest future problems, create a zero waste culture by recovering as much materials as possible and giving solar panels a new life.

SolRecycle plans to develop a solar panels recycling plant which will help users, manufacturers, distributors and installers manage end-of-life solar panels, instead of ending up in a landfill. The plant will consist of an automated solar PV recycling line which would contain four main stages:

  • Aluminium frame removal
  • Glass removal
  • Solar cell crushing
  • Producing ready-to-use raw materials

At the end of the process several valuable materials such as aluminium frame, glass, metal, silicon powder and plastic which are ready to be re-used in manufacturing new solar panels or other products will be obtained. SolRecycle’s solar PV recycling plant will recover up to 95% of the materials. Recovered materials can be used as raw materials to manufacture new products. This will increase the supply chain security, decrease the extraction of natural resources, remove the negative impact for the environment and help installers, distributors and manufacturers give old or damaged panels a new life.
