Solar PV Panel of Fully Automatic Recycling Solutions

The global solar PV waste wave of 2026 has arrived—a challenge met by a solution that is both scalable and profitable. As millions of photovoltaic panels are retired, fully automatic solar panel recycling lines are creating new business opportunities by turning decommissioned modules into valuable raw materials for a growing urban mining industry worth over USD 20 billion. With advanced automation and precise material separation, Henan Honest’s solutions offer recyclers high material recovery, increased profit margins, and compliance with circular economy goals.

Our fully automatic solar PV panel recycling system is engineered for medium to large recycling facilities, supporting continuous operation, stable throughput, and future capacity expansion. While the initial investment in automation is higher than that of labor-intensive systems, it significantly reduces long-term labor costs, minimizes operational instability, and improves overall return on investment. The system is also designed to comply with strict environmental and safety regulations in Europe, North America, and developed Asian markets.

A fully automatic PV recycling line is an integrated solution that can process complete solar modules with minimal human intervention. From panel feeding to final material separation, every stage is controlled by automated equipment and a centralized control system, ensuring consistent output quality and safe operation. Solar PV panel recycling matters because a standard module contains multiple high-value, recoverable materials, including aluminum frames, glass (accounting for up to 70–75% of panel weight), copper, silicon, small but valuable quantities of silver, as well as EVA and backsheet polymers. Efficient recovery of these materials is essential for both environmental compliance and economic sustainability.

The core of the technology lies in precision mechanical separation rather than traditional shredding. The process begins with robotic systems that strip aluminum frames and junction boxes, followed by specialized mechanical scraping that achieves 99% purity for tempered glass. Subsequent stages utilize high-voltage fragmentation and electrostatic separation to recover copper, silicon, and silver with an overall recovery rate of 98%. This efficiency is financially significant, as recovered silver and copper account for nearly 40% of the total recycling value, while the recycled silicon requires 70% less energy to process than virgin quartz.
