The front shield and heaviest part of the panel — recovered as clean cullet that re-enters glass manufacturing.
The clear adhesive that seals the cells. Separated thermally so the layers beneath can be cleanly reclaimed.
The interconnect ribbons threaded between cells. Reclaimed copper is a clean, high-grade conductor feedstock.
The high-value heart of the panel. Silver from the busbars and high-purity silicon are the most valuable recovered streams.
