SOLAR POWER PLANT END LIFE CYCLE: RECYCLING SOLAR PANEL POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Research Background

Research Background

Malaysia's first solar power plant was completed

2011

  • Crystalline Solar Panel (C-Si) [90%]

poly-silicon solar cells,

mono-crystalline solar cells

  • Amorphous Solar Panel

Thin film solar cells

2021

more than 500 M Watt solar generator power plants installed across the country

Expected lifespan

25 to 30 years

the total number of panels that will expire is estimated to be 1.5 million to 2 million

2035

Problem Statement

Problem Statement

The following are the three important things to examine in the research:

the consequences of end-of-life solar waste,

safe disposal method of solar panels, and

the economic justification of solar waste

Research Objectives

i. To review future of solar photovoltaic energy on the end life cycle of solar photovoltaic module in Malaysia.

ii. To compare the disposal method of solar panel available in other developing countries.

iii. To determine strategies to reuse and recycle PV panels at the end of their useful lives

iv. To determine potential value discover from disposal method suggested to implement.

Scope

In the market, there are up to three key solar panel technologies (Emerging technology, Crystalline Silicon, and Thin Film). However, addressing disposal methods for various types of solar panels has its limitations. Crystalline silicon PV panels are projected to remain the leading PV technology until at least 2020, despite recent breakthroughs in solar technology. As a result, the discussion will be limited to one type of solar PV technology, crystalline silicone solar panels, which account for the great majority of PV panel installations in Malaysia.

SIGNIFICANCE

Photovoltaic systems have lately gained widespread acceptability to harness solar energy, as a result of the increasing rate of use of renewable energies, as a result of the finite amount of fossil fuel resources and the accompanying pollution of these non-renewable energies, in the previous decades. Because photovoltaic systems have a finite lifespan and cannot be used after a certain period of time, it appears that recycling and sustainability should be prioritised in the network design of these systems.

This research will disscuss on the possible model of solar panel recycle module. The findings will be used as a basis for future development of solar panel recycle management with addressing the system’s associated costs, environmental impacts, and social values.

PV CYCLE

(C-Si PV)

PV CYCLE (Europe)

  • Collection of photovoltaic panels by PV CYCLE, then delivery to the site
  • Weighing each panel and identification
  • Removal of the aluminium frame along with the connection box and connection cables
  • Cutting the panel into tablets
  • Crushing, sifting and use of an eddy current separator to extract the metal parts
  • Recovery of the different materials for reuse in various industrial sectors
