MK&Partners Product Lineup

At the recycling site for solar panels, there are not a few instances of panels that cannot be processed by dedicated equipment and irregular disassembly work done manually. The portable aluminum frame disassembly unit 'PV DeFramer' has been developed with a completely new concept and solves the problems associated with disassembling aluminum frames of solar panels. It can accommodate various types and sizes of panels, and the unit itself can be disassembled for transport to solar power plant sites. It reduces the space and transportation costs for discarded panels, lowers the initial introduction costs of recycling equipment, and enables disassembly and transportation by the waste generator themselves (*). 【Features】 ◆ Simple structure ◆ Disassemblable structure, portability ◆ Customizable according to work needs ◆ Outstanding cost performance (*) Engaging in the act of accepting waste disposal from others without permission is prohibited by law. (*) This Unit is only available in Japan.

Although the fixed feed-in tariff system (FIT system) introduced in 2012 led to a rapid adoption of solar power generation nationwide, challenges toward the sustainable spread of renewable energy, such as harmony with local communities and the environment, as well as future mass disposal, have become apparent. In particular, there are concerns that these solar panels will be removed and disposed of en masse around the mid-2030s, with estimates suggesting a volume of 170,000 to 280,000 tons per year. In response to the future mass disposal issue, efforts are being made nationwide by government agencies, research institutions, and private companies to develop technologies and establish recycling environments. However, the reality of these efforts has not been comprehensively reported in the media, and outdated or incorrect information is rampant, particularly on social media. This report, "The Reality of Solar Panel Recycling: Unique Research and Analysis Based on Public Documents," organizes the information disseminated by the comprehensive information site for solar panel recycling, "PV Recycling.com(R)," and introduces analysis cases based on various public information and data, proposing challenges and countermeasures that emerge from these facts.

The "Glass Wakeeru III Type System" is a solar panel recycling device that consistently provides the separation, sorting, and collection of used solar panels, as well as the utilization of recycled valuable materials. All materials collected through separation are utilized as valuable resources. Aluminum frames, electrodes, and wires are recycled as metals, while back sheets and cells are sent to refining plants to recover silver. We offer recycling technologies cultivated through glass recycling and know-how for utilizing recycled glass. 【Features】 ◆ Thorough recycling of solar panels ◆ Proven track record in glass recycling ◆ Network through the "Waste Glass Recycling Business Cooperative" *For more details, please visit our website or catalog, or contact us.
