Solar Panel Frame Removal Machine

As the world’s first generation of installed solar energy systems reaches the end of its operational lifespan, millions of decommissioned photovoltaic (PV) modules are entering the waste management stream. For waste recyclers and scrap metal processors, aluminum frames represent the quickest and most accessible source of revenue in the solar panel recycling process—these high-value, pure scrap metals account for approximately 15% to 18% of a solar panel’s total weight.

To address this challenge, SUNY GROUP has developed a semi-automatic solar panel frame removal machine. This compact pre-processing unit is designed to strip away aluminum frames in a matter of seconds.

The machine features an adjustable worktable and hydraulic clamping jaws, making it compatible with a wide range of standard residential and commercial PV modules. When placing an order, simply provide the minimum and maximum dimensions of the solar panels you intend to process; our engineers will then customize the equipment’s stroke parameters and frame-clamping fixtures to suit your specific requirements.
