WOLFU Solar Panel Recycling Equipment

WOLFU solar panel recycling equipment is a fully automated processing line that dismantles and recycles end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules — recovering glass, aluminum frames, silicon, copper, and silver with a separation rate of up to 95%. Engineered for recyclers, EPC contractors, and utility-scale solar farms, our recycling line turns decommissioned solar panels into profitable secondary raw materials.

How It Works

  • Step 1 | Automatic Frame Removal: robotic/mechanical frame stripper detaches aluminum frames in 25–40 seconds per panel.
  • Step 2 | Glass Separation: hot-knife / laser edge cutting lifts the tempered glass with minimal cell breakage.
  • Step 3 | Shredding & Crushing: two-stage shredder and crusher reduce the remaining laminate to 5–20 mm fragments.
  • Step 4 | Multi-Layer Sorting: electrostatic + air-flow + vibration separators split glass, metals, silicon powder, and EVA/backsheet.

Applications

  • Utility-scale solar farm decommissioning & repowering projects
  • E-waste and metal recyclers expanding into PV recycling
  • Solar panel manufacturers running take-back and closed-loop programs
  • Government / utility PV waste collection and processing centers

FAQ

Q: Is solar panel recycling profitable?

A: Yes. With 70% glass, 13% aluminum, plus silicon, copper, and silver recovered per tonne, most operators reach payback in 1.5–3 years depending on gate fees and local material prices.

Q: How much does solar panel recycling equipment cost?

A: Contact for factory price.

Q: What panel sizes can it process?

A: Standard lines handle 1,200 × 2,300 mm modules of any thickness; customized infeed covers special or framed/bifacial panels.

Q: Do you offer installation and training overseas?

A: Yes. WOLFU provides on-site commissioning, operator training, English documentation.

Q: What is the delivery time?

A: 45–60 days for standard models after deposit.
