Scientists in Thailand have used microwaves to separate broken glass from PV panels. The process can be performed at temperatures ranging from 45 C to 55 C.Researchers in Thailand have developed an electrothermal heating technology based on microwaves to separate glass in solar modules at the end of their lifecycles. "Microwave is competitive price-wise due to the production on a large industrial scale of magnetrons and electronic controls," the scientists said, noting that the technology can provide heat uniformly, so it does not harm the glass or the rest of the components in solar panels. The ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
