What is solar panel recycling machine？
A solar panel recycling machine is an advanced, fully integrated system designed to recover and reuse valuable materials from end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner. Unlike traditional disposal methods such as landfilling or crude crushing, this system employs a precise, multi-stage recycling process that achieves more than 95% recovery efficiency.
The solar panel components contain: 65%-75% high-transmittance glass, 5%-10% aluminum, 10% plastic, 3%-5% silicon, 1% copper, and less than 0.1% precious metals such as silver. However, our solar panel recycling machine can totally separate them and keep the final output high price in the market.

Your best solar panel recycling machine for sale
Solar panel recycling machine is a newly developed machine that turns end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) panels into high-value materials requires a precise and well-coordinated process. Our fully integrated recycling line is engineered to recover valuable resources efficiently while ensuring safety, purity, and profitability.
The process begins with a high-performance frame disassembly unit, which quickly and safely removes the aluminum frame without damaging other components. Next, the glass removal system cleanly separates the cover glass from the cells, preserving its quality for reuse. Finally, the advanced solar panel recycling line shredding and crushing pv panel silicon, copper, and precious metals into high-purity material ready for resell purpose.
Each stage of the line is designed to work seamlessly together—maximizing recovery rates, minimizing waste, and delivering a smarter, more sustainable solution for solar panel recycling.

Solar panel recycling plant
After removing its aluminium frame and glass layer, the solar panel recycling plant from BSGH Granulator efficiently converts the remaining materials into pure valuable granules.
- Advanced shredder + crusher + grinding machine
- Multiple separation system containing vibrating screen and air separation, to precisely sort materials into pure copper, silver, silicon, and plastics.
How to recycle Solar Panels?
Recycling solar panels is a multi-stage industrial process that involves more than a single piece of equipment. Modern photovoltaic (PV) modules contain several tightly bonded materials—including glass, aluminum, silicon wafers, polymers, and conductive metals—making simple crushing or landfilling inefficient and environmentally harmful.
- Precision Deframing: Our solar panel deframing machine cleanly and automatically removes the aluminum frame from scrap solar panels easily. This ensures 100% aluminum recovery and prepares the panel core for the crucial separation stages ahead.
- Glass removal: The deframed panels are transferred to our specialized glass dismantling machine. Using a combination of controlled thermal and mechanical processes, it meticulously separates the high-transmittance glass from the EVA layer and backsheet, preserving the glass’s purity and value.
- Primary Shredding: The glass-free modules now enter a heavy-duty shredder. Its powerful shear force breaks them down into uniform, manageable fragments, creating an ideal feedstock for further processing.
- Granulating: The shredded fragments are conveyed into a crusher for further size reduction. This step ensures a consistent particle size, which is critical for the efficiency of the subsequent separation stages.
- Grinding & Sorting: The granulated material is then fed into a grinder, pulverizing into a fine powder. An integrated vibrating screen below sorts the powder, effectively separating valuable mixture of silicon and silver from other components.
- Final Air Separation: The remaining powder enters an air separator system. Here, a controlled airflow performs a clean, efficient separation, discharging pure copper on one side and plastics on the other.
