A new panel recycling process: Tialpi aims to achieve 100% recycling
Italy's Tialpi has developed a process for recycling solar panels. It promises to recover 100% of a panel's weight. For the time being,
At least 85% of a panel's weight can be recycled, by recovering the most important components of photovoltaic panels, such as aluminium profiles, copper cables and glass.
The second phase of the process will involve completing the separation of the back sheets from the silicon wafer, enabling 100% of a panel's weight to be recovered.
