Femtosecond Lasers Solve Solar Panels' Recycling Issue

Cars That Think

National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) in Golden, Colorado say they’ve found a better way to seal solar modules. This partial recycling wastes the most valuable materials in the modules. “At Young and his colleagues described their proof-of-concept technique in a paper published 21 February in the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics.
