Disassembly is the first step for any PV module recycling process, which takes apart the aluminium frame from the waste module for recycling. Delamination is the step to open the laminated structure of the module and is the most challenging part, thus resulting in a detrimental impact on processing complexity, pollution, and cost.

In this review article, the complete recycling process is systematically summarized into two main sections: disassembly and delamination treatment for silicon-based PV panels, involving physical, thermal, and chemical treatment, and the retrieval of valuable metals (silicon, silver, copper, tin, etc.).
In general, value-recycling follows three steps: disassembly, delamination, material sorting, and material extraction, as shown in Fig. 2. Disassembly is the first step for any PV module recycling process, which takes apart the aluminium frame from the waste module for recycling.
Solar panel recycling is in its infancy with both technical and non-technical challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of technology progress in silicon photovoltaic module recycling to guide future research and development.
The pyrolysis thermal treatment process effectively removes adhesive material and all other materials from the PV panel (Dias et al., 2016). Bohland and Anisimov, 1997 proposed a pyrolysis method to recycle solar PV panels in an inert environment, allowing the recovery of glass, silver, and lead without disposing of them in water.
