SMR POLSKA SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ implements the project: “Recycling of photovoltaic panels” co-financed by the European Union under PRIORITY I OF THE PROGRAMME EUROPEAN FUNDS FOR MODERN ECONOMY 2021-2027 (FENG)
The project will be implemented in two modules:
– R&D module, consisting of four stages:
- Development of mobile technology for recycling photovoltaic panels
- Development of a complete industrial installation for recycling and recovery of secondary raw materials from photovoltaic panels
- Production tests of the mobile installation at the customer’s premises
- Production tests of the complete installation on the premises of SMR Polska
– Innovation implementation module – implementation of aluminum sorting technology using X-ray and infrared detectors
Target groups:
– for the R&D module – companies purchasing used panels photovoltaic panels, companies installing panels and private owners of photovoltaic installations,
– for the Innovation Implementation module – aluminium smelters that process aluminium scrap.
The aim of the project is to develop a innovative process and activities related to the implementation of a innovative product in the Beneficiary’s product portfolio.
The planned research and development works are aimed at developing a technology that will enable the recovery of glass from photovoltaic panels at a level of 90%. The developed method involves delamination, which will allow for the separation of clean glass and its almost complete recovery.
As part of the implementation module, the results of R&D works independently performed by the Beneficiary, regarding the sorting of aluminium using X-ray detectors and an infrared camera, will be implemented.
