This has become an issue as more and more solar panels reach end of life viability or need to be replaced based on better tech available or damaged. (Storms, hail, wind etc)

The ugly truth is that a lot of broken or redundant panels are getting to landfill around the world, an unacceptable outcome for one of the big green solutions in solving the need for zero carbon emission energy generation.

The VIS machine is a unique solution to this as we are able to uniquely recycle the panels due to the fact that core components of the panel are non responsive to the aero acoustic forces.  As per the process shown below, the panel backing and all embedded wiring and plastics are unaffected as the glass and resin layers are exploded apart and processed into ultra-fine material that has value in concrete and further glass manufacture.  Some of the recycling solutions currently used grind the panel up into a "dirty glass" to recycle but this is far more limited in recycling application (and financial value) as the individual components in a panel are not separated and pure and the VIS machine solution does not have this problem. There are increasingly solar panel recycilng solutions where companies put some of the materials into an autoclave system to extract valuable components and get it to pure form. The VIS machine is a solution to these companies as well due to producing an ultra-fine glass/resin powder up front and making sure that they immediately have the backing and metal separated to go into their autoclave process.
