What to do after the solar panel is scrapped?
Solar panel can convert light energy into electricity, which brings great convenience to outdoor lighting. But these equipments that use these new energy sources, such as damaged solar panel, have caused new pollution?
In fact, many materials for battery panels can be recycled. For example, the core material crystalline silicon can be reused in the heavy metal industry, glass panels can be sent to glass manufacturing, aluminum frames can be sent to aluminum refineries, After being crushed, connectors and the like can be reused in the form of copper beads, and waste plastics can be used as fuel.
So as long as it is handled properly, you don't have to worry too much about the new pollution to the environment or the waste of resources after the retirement of solar panel. So how should we deal with the waste solar panel?
① When the battery board is damaged and can be rescued, pay attention not to touch the battery board with bare hands. After the battery board is scrapped, do not carelessly, there is still a risk of electric shock, so it is best to wear dry wire gloves or Rubber gloves, such as gloves with better insulation, isolate the danger of electric shock;
② If you encounter a solar panel connected by a cable, you should pay attention to unplug the cable. If you cannot remove it, you must cut the link cable in other ways;
③ For the cut cables, if there are copper wires exposed, be sure to wrap them with plastic tape to avoid electric shock;
④ After that, the solar panel are transported to the waste place. For the sake of caution, it is best to use a hammer and other tools to break the glass and separate the glass, battery cells, metal frames, wiring materials, etc., to facilitate subsequent reuse.
⑤ During the entire operation, it is best to cover the front of the battery panel with blue tarpaulin or cardboard, or directly face down to avoid direct sunlight, which will cause the operation of the photoelectric conversion process. Increasing the danger, even when there is no sun at night, you need to pay more attention to avoid the battery board being energized.
