Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are devices designed to convert sunlight into electricity. They are a crucial component of solar energy systems and play a key role in harnessing renewable energy from the sun. Solar panels consist of multiple solar cells made from semiconductor materials, typically silicon, that generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight. These solar cells are wired together in a specific arrangement to form a module or panel. When sunlight strikes the surface of the solar cells, it excites electrons within the semiconductor material, creating an electric current. This generated electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and various applications, or it can be stored in batteries for use during cloudy periods or at night. Solar panels have gained popularity as a clean and sustainable energy source, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a more environmentally friendly power generation method.

FAQs
Why recycle solar panels?
Solar panel recycling is a crucial and evolving practice aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of photovoltaic waste. As the adoption of solar energy continues to surge, finding sustainable solutions for end-of-life solar panels becomes increasingly important. These panels contain valuable materials such as silicon, glass, and metals that can be recovered and reused through recycling processes.
By dismantling and separating the components, we can extract raw materials for new panels or other applications, reducing the demand for virgin resources and curbing greenhouse gas emissions associated with mining and manufacturing. As the solar industry matures, the development of efficient and cost-effective recycling methods holds the promise of not only reducing waste but also contributing to a more circular and sustainable energy economy.
