AGC Achieves Success in Demonstration Test of Solar Panel Cover Glass Recycling

AGC announced that it has succeeded for the first time in Japan in a demonstration test to recycle about 24 tons of used solar panel cover glass into raw material cullet (pieces of broken glass).

The test was conducted from October 19 to 22, 2023 at the AGC Yokohama Technical Center's figured glass production furnace. For the recovery of glass from solar panels, the test used the heat treatment technology of the commercial solar panel recycling production line of Mitsubishi Chemical Group company Shinryo Corporation.

In this demonstration test, it was confirmed that solar panel cover glass can be turned into raw material cullet that can be reused for flat glass production through a special heat treatment. This will reduce industrial waste and conserve raw materials derived from natural resources such as silica sand and soda ash, thereby contributing to the promotion of the circular economy.
