Processes to recycle Si wafer from solar PV module The junction box, aluminium frame and cables have been separated mechanically which are attached with the help of adhesive glue (Silica gel). Mechanical separation is the only method to remove them without damage.
SPV modules have some toxic materials (like Cd, Pb and Se). So, disposing of SPV modules in a landfill may create environmental issues. Recycling end-of-life SPV modules is one of the solutions to such an issue.
Solar cells are treated with potassium hydroxide to etch out aluminium from the back surface of the solar cell. Aluminium is soluble in potassium hydroxide. It forms potassium aluminate and hydrogen gas. Aluminium contact is removed from the back surface.
The thermal process has been performed using a muffle furnace where the samples have been heated at different temperatures 250, 350, 375 and 400 °C at a rate of 15 °C/min. The intact solar cells have been gathered after the heating process and then chemical processes to remove coatings have been performed.
Solar photovoltaic module (SPV) energy has the potential to not only satisfy the rising global need for power but also to do it without the enormous environmental costs associated with burning fossil fuels.
