In recent years, the production of solar modules has increased strongly. The amount of waste materials originating from damaged and end-of life- photovoltaic modules is expected to rise because of the growing photovoltaic capacities. The recycling of these modules is of major importance due to economical and ecological reasons. The recovery of wafers from conventional silicon modules is relatively easy to perform. In contrast, the recycling of thin film modules is posing a technical challenge. The RESOLVED project is aimed to present a solution to this problem. RESOLVED is a demonstration project within the EU-programme LIFE-Environment.
