NREL's laser technology simplifies solar module recycling
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 03, 2024
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a new method using femtosecond lasers to create glass-to-glass welds in solar modules, significantly simplifying the recycling process. This innovation replaces the traditional use of plastic polymer sheets, which complicates recycling efforts.
