A sustainable method for reclaiming silicon (Si) wafers from an end-of-life photovoltaic module is examined in this paper. A thermal process was employed to remove ethylene vinyl acetate and the back-sheet. We found that a ramp-up rate of 15 C min −1 and an annealing temperature of 480 C enabled recovery of the undamaged wafer from the module.
