Targeted recycling of glass-glass modules trades value for lower impact
Researchers have assessed the environmental and economic performance of recycling strategies for frameless glass-glass PV modules encapsulated with polyolefin elastomer (POE), a design increasingly used in bifacial modules.
AI Summary
Researchers evaluated the environmental and economic outcomes of recycling strategies for frameless glass‑glass photovoltaic modules that use a polyolefin elastomer (POE) encapsulant, a design gaining traction in bifacial panels. They noted that prior PV recycling research has largely examined conventional modules built with ethylene‑vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulant, plastic backsheets and aluminum frames. The study highlights the need to consider the distinct characteristics of newer POE‑based glass‑glass designs when assessing recycling performance.
