Introducing Solar Panel Recycling Platform
Critical Raw Material Supply Risks
Following Studies carried out by the European Union, Studies show that Europe is in a position whereby it risks a shortage of critical raw materials. These materials include Hafnium, Phosphorus, Bismuth, Indium, Tantalum, Borate, Magnesium, Tungsten, Cobalt, Natural graphite, Vanadium, etc. These materials are crucial to the European Union and are mainly imported, meaning that there is a need to have a more secure supply chain.
One way of doing this is by recycling materials containing crucial raw materials needed by the European Union, such as Solar panels.
How to recycle your solar panels ?
First of all, your solar panels are composed of several types such as aluminum, glass, cell, copper/silver, and silicon or crystalline.
You should know that all of these components are recycled to give new life to your defective panels except for the plastic.
Solar panels are recycled by the PV Cycle organization, which has 200 collection points in France, and then transported to a dedicated plant managed by Veolia.
Recycling a solar panel costs nothing. They are supported by an environmental commitment called the eco-participation.
It is important to know that photovoltaic panels have a lifespan of about 40 years.
Planet Soar Shop Recycling Process
What happens to our recycled panels?
First of all, glass is a timeless material just like aluminum. Therefore, it will be transformed into fiberglass, insulating glass or packaging. Aluminum will be used to reconstitute new ones like cans.
Silicon can be recycled up to 4 times to make new cells or as ingots for electronic devices.
Finally, copper and silver will simply be melted down to be reused.
You want to change your solar panels?
It is true that over the years the panels can lose their performance, changing them will allow a high productivity and therefore more efficiency, which can save on electricity bills.
Replace your old panels with new ones, your installer will restore your old panels and send them to a collection point for recycling.
This saves money on electricity bills while giving a second life to old solar panels.

Why should i Recycle my Solar Panels ?
You can recycle or change your system for various reasons. Some of the reason you maybe consider recycling your panels for are as follows.

You may consider recycling your system if it is an old system. Sometimes individuals retain their systems for a long time, leaving them outdated, and underperforming in comparison to newer solar panels in the market. In this case, you will find yourself with a large system, that generates a relatively low amount of power in comparison to a newer system. In this case, it may be more interesting to replace your older system.
In this case, we've got you covered with our new platform. Thanks to its simple and easy to use interface, you can input information about the existing system, and you can leave a message requesting a replacement system. We will get back to you with a replacement system based on your old system with improvements of course.
2. Inefficient Solar System
Solar panels lose their efficiency over the period of time, which makes it interesting for individuals to recycle their older systems.
On average, a solar panel loses about 1% of their efficiency. This means that an individual that is still using their system installed 25 years ago, are generating a quarter less of the energy they could be generating.
This makes it interesting for individuals tochange their solar system. With the platform they can do this, while properly disposing of their old system in a responsible manner.
3. Broken Solar panels
