This paper presents a sustainable recycling process for the separation and recovery of tempered glass from end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules. As glass accounts for 75% of the weight of a panel, its recovery is an important step in the recycling process. These machines efficiently dismantle solar panels and recover key components such as glass, aluminum frames, silicon cells. . Abstract: In view of the disadvantages of the existing electrostatic separation process of decommissioned photovoltaic modules, which can only achieve the separation of fine silicon wafers and glass and has high energy consumption, a new process to solve the efficient dry separation of coarse. . Installations of solar photovoltaic (PV) and collector modules have been increasing significantly in the past ten years and continued to do so in many countries, especially in Southeast Asia. For example, in Thailand, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand plans to install more than 2.
