Solar Firms team up on recycling

Some of the world's top solar power companies have teamed up to launch the first large-scale recycling system for solar panels in Europe, to stay ahead of regulators by showing an industry-led shcema can work. The new PV Cycle associatione mebraces about 17 solar companies including Q-cells. Experts say the cost of producing a solar module from recycled ingredients rather than primary material is about the same. But using recycled solar wafers takes up only a third of the energy needed to produce a module from first-hand material as purifying silicon to solar-grade level is energy intensive.
