The solar panel recycling project has garnered interest from industries, organizations, and individuals due to its environmental and economic benefits. Manufacturers and installers view recycling as a way to adopt sustainable practices, reduce waste, and recover valuable materials like silicon, crucial for solar panels and lithium-ion battery anodes. Recovering low-cost, nanosized silicon from discarded panels could lower production costs, benefiting battery, EV, and electronics sectors. Environmental groups highlight recycling’s role in reducing landfill waste, conserving resources, and lowering carbon emissions, supporting a circular economy. Rising public awareness of sustainability reinforces the appeal of recycling to address electronic waste. This project aims to develop an innovative hydrometallurgical recycling process to recover both solar-grade and battery-grade silicon while simultaneously generating hydrogen gas from waste panels. By fostering a circular economy, the project seeks to minimize waste, conserve resources, and set a precedent for sustainable practices in both the solar and energy storage industries.
