Upcycling solar glass into Ce-doped oxyfluorides: spectroscopic and crystallization properties
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Rafaela Valcarenghi, Marcelo Sandrini +9
Oxyfluorides containing up to 80 wt% recycled glass from end-of-life solar panels have been investigated. Reduced processing temperature and high transparency have shown that the m…
Glassy materials for Silicon-based solar panels: present and future
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Marcelo Sandrini, Vitor Santaella Zanuto +1
Glass provides mechanical, chemical, and UV protection to solar panels, enabling these devices to withstand weathering for several decades. The increasing demand for solar electric…
Towards long term sustainability of c-Si solar panels: the environmental benefits of glass sheet recovery
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Marcelo Sandrini, Francisnara Tonholi +2
The cover glass in a silicon solar panel accounts for about 2/3 of the device's weight. Recycling these devices at their end-of-life is fundamental to reducing the industry's envir…
Float, borosilicate and tellurites as cover glasses in Si photovoltaics: optical properties and performances under sunlight
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Marcelo Sandrini, Henrique Silva Muniz +10
One of the most significant materials in a solar panel is the glass, which provides transparency, UV protection as well as mechanical and chemical resistance. In this work, we desc…
