Our Expertise for a Sustainable PV Industry | ROSI
Using low-impact and scalable technologies, ROSI is scaling-up its activity to become the leading recycler of end-of-life solar panels. The recycling processes of ROSI create new sources of
Crystal silicon cells accounted for more than 95% of this capacity [1, 2]. Figure 1 illustrates the value chain of the silicon photovoltaic industry, ranging from industrial silicon through polysilicon, monocrystalline silicon, silicon wafer cutting, solar cell production, and finally photovoltaic (PV) module assembly.
The recycling processes of ROSI create new sources of secondary raw materials: high-purity silicon, silver, copper, aluminium, and high-transparency glass. This is a first step in creating a circular economy for the photovoltaic industry.
In the photovoltaic supply chain, a substantial amount of photovoltaic secondary silicon-containing resource (PV-SSCR), including metallurgical-grade silicon refined slag (MGSRS), silicon fume (SF), silicon cutting waste (SCW) and end-of-life silicon solar cell (ESSC) from discharged modules, can be recycled.
The fully recycled photovoltaic module uses n-type TOPCon technology and a golden size design. Upon testing, it has a conversion efficiency of up to 20.7% and a power output exceeding 645W. RESOLAR transports and recycles damaged PV modules from factories and decommissioned PV modules. The separation rate of solar cells and glass is high.
