Femtosecond Lasers Solve Solar Panels' Recycling Issue

Cars That Think

Manufacturers achieve the seal by laminating a panel’s silicon cells with polymer sheets between glass panes. But the sticky polymer is hard to separate from the silicon cells at the end of a solar panel’s life, making recycling the materials more difficult. This partial recycling wastes the most valuable materials in the modules. “At
