Review on current commercialized PV module recycling examples and status of research on PV module recycling tech- nologies are presented. The results showed that recycling tech- nologies for end-of-life modules are widely explored and some are commercially available, although challenges still remain in process efficiency, reduction in process complexity, energy requirements and use of chemicals. Wafer recovery and reuse are considered to be a more beneficial way of recycling c-Si modules, as wafer is the most valuable and environment-affecting component. Therefore, delamination methods, which avoid cell damages, are needed in the first place. Among the proven procedures for the decomposi- tion of EVA (which is the most commonly used adhesive material), the thermal decomposition is effective, efficient and economically feasible for the recovery of thick cells and already commercially available, but improvements in process energy balance and treat- ment of harmful emissions need to be studied. Solvent dissolution enables a more effective separation of EVA and glass with less damages to PV cells. Unfortunately the inefficiency and the high price of the solvent used do not justify the use of this method for commercial PV cell and module recycling purposes, and the waste solutions from the process causes certain environmental concerns.
