Ultimately, silicon wafer recovery is indispensable for the solar panel industry, facilitating efficient resource usage, extending product lifespan, and improving overall performance.
The ability to engineer efficient silicon solar cells using a-Si:H layers was demonstrated in the early 1990s 113, 114. Many research laboratories with expertise in thin-film silicon photovoltaics joined the effort in the past 15 years, following the decline of this technology for large-scale energy production.
The recovered silicon solar cells had an efficiency equivalent to real solar cells based on thermal cycling tests. Azeumo et al. (2019) experimentally observed that immersion of the EVA layer in toluene kept at 60 °C for 60 min led to the recovery of 95% of silicon solar cells.
