Astronergy (Chint Solar), a producer of c-Si and thin film solar modules, declared that it has become a full-fledged member of PV cycle, an establishment focused in voluntary return and reprocessing of photovoltaic modules.
The company has taken initiatives to prevent wastages and consequent impact on environment from module production level to disposal of those modules that have reached the end of their usage life.
Astronergy is a grade-1 producer of crystalline silicon and thin film solar modules and produces over 500 MW modules in a year. The modules that have attained their service age of 25 years or damaged continue to have their usage and the used components such as silicon from the cells, glass on the front side of the panel and the aluminum frame can be reused. PV Cycle on its part enables the clients an easy way to dispose off the old and broken modules instead of sending them as waste to landfills thus reducing their environmental impact.
According to Dr. Liyou Yang, CEO of Astronergy, the allegiance of the company in preserving the environment enables the growth of its business. He said that his company has implemented a low-carbon footprint program within its office and will strive for ways so that the products produced by the company will have a reduced level of ecological impact.
