As well as recycling the glass fronts and aluminium frames, the new factory can recover nearly all of the precious materials contained within the panels, such as silver and copper, which are typically some of the hardest materials to extract. These rare materials can subsequently be recycled and reused to make new, more powerful, solar units.
“These recycled solar panels help us a lot, we have children and it’s useful having light and hot water even though we have no electricity.” So how does it work? The homemade system is made of used soda cans, plastic bottles and milk cartons. As the sun heats the tubes of the solar collector, hot water flows into the storage tank.
Things have changed thanks to ingenious but very simple solar panels made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s the result of an initiative by Argentinian NGO Sumando Energias, which directly involves local communities. “This is a poor neighbourhood and sometimes we have no light or water,” says resident Luis Alberto Quinona.
The material could be applied to entire buildings such as the Montreal Convention Centre. - Copyright Solar fashion and vertical solar farms are the future with this new material that doesn't need direct sunlight to make electricity. Solar panels that don’t require direct sunlight have been invented in another leap forwards for clean energy.
Groppo estimates that in 20 years people will mine landfills to recover valuable materials in the junked panels, but “it makes an awful lot more sense for us to separate them now.” The Yuma facility can process 7,500 panels in a single day or roughly 69 million pounds per year.
We Recycle Solar sends out employees to dismantle large solar arrays and that is currently its biggest source of revenue. Reselling refurbished solar panels is number two, and recycling brings in the least. Decommissioning and resale are actually subsidizing some of the recycling costs, Saghei said.
