Customer ServiceEmiliano joined pv magazine in March 2017. He has been reporting on solar and renewable energy since 2009. The Netherlands Labour Authority (Nederlandse Arbeidsinspectie) has provided accident statistics related to the installation of solar energy systems. It says there have been four casualties among solar installers over the past three years.
The scientists introduced the new approach in the study “ Experimental repair technique for glass defects of glass-glass photovoltaic modules – A techno-economic analysis ,” published in Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells. “Overall, the first indicators for a technically feasible and effective repair technique are positive,” they concluded.
The researchers explained that glass breakage in glass-glass solar panels may lead to the disruption of the insulation of the encapsulant layer, which would cause the penetration of water and humidity in the modules, or the creation of microcracks in the solar cells, which would be highly detrimental to their performance.
A Dutch research group has used a series of techniques from the automotive industry to develop a novel methodology to repair glass in double-glass solar panels. Their experimental work represents the step towards transforming glass-damaged solar panels from waste into valuable products.
The major problem in solar panel recycling - and this always precedes circularity - is posed by the encapsulant. This anchors the solar cells firmly in the module. At the same time, it makes optimal dismantling of end-of-life modules extremely difficult. We came up with a solution.’
First of all, Späth mentions PANGEA. This Dutch project is working on a silicon solar panel with a PFAS-free recyclable plastic backsheet and the release encapsulant. The idea is that components can be reused to produce new ones at the end of life.
