PV Panel Recycling
USED PV PANEL → DISASSEMBLY → SEPARATION → MATERIAL RECOVERY → NEW APPLICATIONS — High-purity recovery of glass, aluminium, copper, silicon, and precious metals.
Conventional shredding crushes solar panels into low-grade contaminated rubble. EnerX PV Panel Recycling utilizes precision automated frame de-bonding, thermal-knife EVA delamination, electrostatic sorting, and hydrometallurgical refinement—recovering up to 96.8% of total module weight as clean industrial commodities ready for new manufacturing.

Isolates pure Glass, Aluminium, Copper ribbons, Crystalline Silicon powder, and precious Silver (Ag) electrode paste.
New solar float glass, fiberglass insulation, architectural geopolymers
Direct re-melting for new solar mounting frames & automotive extrusions
Electrical cables, transformers, and inverter busbars
Ferrosilicon alloys, solar ingot feedstock & Si-C BESS anodes
Precious metal refining (Ag) & thermo-acoustic insulation mats
Recovered Fractions & Industrial Applications
1. Glass (Low-Iron Solar Cullet)
Precision thermal delamination separates tempered front/back solar glass intact without EVA char—supplying high-transmission cullet for float glass, fiberglass insulation, and reflective road beads.
2. Aluminium (Anodized Frame Profiles)
Automated pneumatic de-framing strips 6063-T5 aluminum alloy frames in 12 seconds per panel, saving 95% of the embodied energy required to smelt primary bauxite aluminum.
3. Copper (Busbars, Ribbons & Cables)
Granulation and eddy-current density separation extract high-conductivity copper from PV junction boxes, interconnect ribbons, and DC solar cables for direct electrical smelters.
4. Silicon (Crystalline Wafer Powder)
Chemical-free optical and density classification isolates crystalline silicon wafer fragments, refined into ferrosilicon alloys, new solar ingots, or nano-silicon anodes for BESS batteries.
5. Other Components (Silver Ag, Tin & Polymers)
Closed-loop leaching recovers precious Silver (Ag) electrode pastes and Lead-free solder, while EVA/POE polymers and backsheets are converted into acoustic insulation and industrial profiles.
6. Certified WEEE Digital Material Passport
Every recycled batch receives a serialized ESG & WEEE compliance certificate tracking exact kilogram recovery of glass, Al, Cu, Si, and Ag for corporate sustainability audits.
