Solar panel recycling is a multi-step industrial process that separates glass, aluminum, silicon, copper, silver, and polymers from end-of-life photovoltaic modules using mechanical, thermal, and chemical treatments. . This study examines the efficacy of photovoltaic (PV) recycling processes and technologies for the recovery of high-purity silicon powder from waste solar modules. Modern recycling facilities can recover between 85 and 95 percent of a panel's. . The rapid proliferation of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells as a clean energy source has raised significant concerns regarding their end-of-life (EoL) management, particularly in terms of sustainability and waste reduction.
