Abstract
The ever-growing application of solar panels for renewable energy has resulted in a significant increase in solar panel waste that is both difficult to recycle and hazardous to the environment. In order to provide a potential solution to this problem, a novel recycling concept employing high-temperature density separation was developed. This was accomplished by firstly completing a thorough literature review on current recycling methods and calculating results using previous experimental and theoretical data. From the results, it was determined that high-temperature density separation has significant potential for making recycling a profitable practice for up to $290/tonne of solar panels. Compared to current recycling methods, high-temperature density separation possesses many benefits such as higher efficiency, potential for energy recovery, and lower environmental impact. This solar panel recycling solution has the potential to greatly improve the sustainability of the solar energy industry while also finding potential applications in other industries that require specialized processing of materials.
