Mechanical Glass‐Backsheet Photovoltaic Modules Delamination: Toward Materials Recycling

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
A new technology based on sanding has been developed to collect most of the materials contained in a photovoltaic (PV) module in the form of powders. A pilot line is now operational. This technology is specifically suited for Glass//Backsheet PV panels, which represent today the vast majority of the end of life PV panels.

Probabilistic Modeling for Prediction Errors to Enhance Balancing Market Participation of Photovoltaic Systems: Error Threshold Estimation, Multisite Aggregation, and Overloading Effects

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This study proposes a method to increase the value of solar power in balancing markets by managing prediction errors. The approach models prediction uncertainties and quantifies reserve requirements based on a probabilistic model. This enables the more reliable participation of photovoltaic plants in balancing markets across multiple sites, especially ...
