No longer generate energy: old solar panels have found new use

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/ba/d4/ib-fqbv99nh6_2715237c.jpg" Alt = "no longer generate energy: old solar panels have found new application"/> ~ ~ < p > Some elements of solar panels that have broken or served their term can become a building material.

< P > Australian Boral company has tested a new sand for concrete containing crushed glass from damaged solar panels that have served their term. About this & nbsp; referred & nbsp; on the company's official site.

< p > reports that solar glass sand & mdash; It is an environmentally friendly substitute for the traditional sand required for construction. Boral purchased glass from Elecsome, Australian solar panel processing plant that collects solar panels that have served their term or damaged.

< p > The glass was ground and processed at the ELECSOME processing plant, then mixed with 50 percent of natural sand. In turn, Boral has created a number of concrete mixtures using solar glass sand.

< P > Test parties of concrete were taken to the recently open Bulleen concrete plant, which supplies concrete for the North East Link project, and a concrete plate was laid on the spot. While testing, the material demonstrated high quality.

< P > “The success of this stable concrete mix in the commercial project provides an effective way of processing solar panels that have served their term and makes an additional contribution to the stability of the construction industry”, & mdash; The head of the Sustainable Development and Innovation Department in Boral, Dr. Ali Nezhad.
