SOLUTIONS
We connect project requirements, assessment, and industry partners to identify practical routes for material recovery and reuse.
OUR FOCUS
Our current priority is the recovery of retired photovoltaic modules. These modules present both an environmental-management challenge and an opportunity to recover valuable materials. Beginning with each customer’s operating conditions, Shanghai Yangyuan explores clearer routes for separating, sorting, and reusing glass, silicon, aluminium, and conductive materials.
RECOVERY USE CASES
The source, volume, and condition of the modules shape how each project is assessed and delivered.
Supporting asset owners, operators, and engineering partners with recovery needs arising from large-scale retirements, upgrades, and replacement programmes.
Working with manufacturers on non-conforming modules, damaged units, offcuts, and other opportunities to return production materials to use.
Connecting separation and sorting with downstream uses for recovered glass, silicon, aluminium, conductive materials, and other resources.
MATERIAL RECOVERY
Company-provided patent materials cover layer-by-layer module dismantling, backsheet lifting and peeling, and solar-cell removal. These materials provide a technical basis for discussing separation methods and potential downstream uses, taking account of each module’s construction and condition.
The material image is a concept visual and does not represent specific project output, equipment, or processing results.
HOW WE WORK
We start by understanding the project rather than assuming the answer.
Share the project type, available materials, location, and preferred timetable.
Consider the available recovery options in the context of the project.
Coordinate transport, handover, and process management under the agreed plan.
Document the outcome and identify any next steps for continued collaboration.
