Can solar panels be recycled? SURE. That's the sure answer from Genesis.
Silicon solar modules are primarily composed of aluminum, glass and plastic, they are recycled in mass quantities.

Here is the main steps involved in successfully recycling a silicon module:

1.Removing the aluminum frame (100% reusable)
2.Separating the glass along a conveyor belt (95% reusable)
3.Thermal processing at 500 degrees Celsius
    This allows for the evaporation of small plastic components and allows the cells to be easier separated.
4.Etching away silicon wafers and smelting them into reusable slabs (85% reusable)
