Solar Panels
Second Life
One effective way to prevent solar panels from ending up in landfills is through panel reuse, either directly or after refurbishment. By giving solar panels a second chance, they can continue generating clean energy in new locations.
While the secondary market for solar panel reuse has not yet gained traction in the United States, there are regulatory considerations to address. These include compliance with electrical grid interconnection regulations, as well as fire, building, and electrical codes. However, there are numerous beneficial ways solar panels could be repurposed, especially in off-grid scenarios.
For instance, solar panels could power electric bike or vehicle charging stations, or provide energy to remote locations where grid connections are not feasible. By exploring these reuse options, we can extend the lifespan of solar panels and maximize their positive impact on the environment.

Recycling Process
In an ideal recycling system, we aim to recover as much material from solar panels as possible. Here's how we do it:
- Disassembly: We carefully remove the frame and junction box, preparing the panel for recycling.
- Separation: Using various proprietary mechanical separation methods, we separate the aluminum, glass, silicon, copper, eva backing and specialty metals.
- Purification: We convert the recycled panels into secondary commodities and send them to their respective downstream vendors for further purification and reuse.
The solar panel recycling industry is still growing, and researchers are working on commercializing the process to economically recover most components.
While elements of this process are happening in the United States, large-scale recycling is not yet widespread.
In established industries like glass, metals, and electronics, recycling processes are already in place and can accommodate solar panels and related components.
Typically, these processes involve crushing, shredding, and milling after removing the frame and junction box. Glass, aluminum, and copper are often recovered, while other materials like silicon solar cells may be incinerated.
For thin-film cadmium-telluride panels, which are a smaller part of the solar market, a different recycling process is used. Some U.S. manufacturers operate dedicated recycling facilities for these panels, recovering semiconductor materials like cadmium and tellurium, along with glass and copper.
