A brighter future for
retired solar panels.

Layers that protect. Layers that complicate recovery.

A typical crystalline-silicon module combines a frame, glass, encapsulating polymers, cells, conductors and a backsheet. Those layers protect the module during use but can make material separation difficult.

Different module technologies have different compositions. Broken panels, manufacturing rejects and retired intact modules also arrive in different conditions, so a single assumed processing route is not enough.

Explore the material value between the layers.

JENROVA evaluates prepared solar-panel feedstocks for dry material liberation, with no added process chemicals and no hammer mills in the liberation stage. Preparation and downstream separation are selected for the module construction being assessed.

The aim is to release material fractions for further separation and testing. Recovering a glass-rich or cell-bearing fraction is a different milestone from producing specification-grade glass, purified silicon or refined silver. Each requires its own evidence.

Recovery becomes meaningful
when material has a next use.

Qualified glass and metals may have established industrial destinations. Cell-bearing and polymer fractions require further characterization and an appropriate recovery or end-use route. Outcomes depend on module technology and demonstrated separation performance.
