Once the semiconductor is extracted from the PV module, silicon wafers undergo a chemical process to yield silicon ingots and powder. The renewable energy sector demonstrates its dedication to sustainable waste management by recycling crystalline silicon solar cells from PV modules.
Currently, crystalline silicon PV cells dominate the market with a market share of approximately 95% . Their significant advantages in terms of cost, lifespan, and relatively high efficiency have led to an increasing volume of discarded cells, emphasizing the urgent need for resourceful recycling management.
