Guidelines for promotion of recycling on PV generation facilities
ガイドラインTransmission of information for toxic substances :Offer of the information necessary for appropriate disposal
有害物質等の情報伝達：適正処分に必要な情報提供[Changes]
Introducing the "Guidelines for Providing Information Contribution to Proper Disposal ofUsed Solar Cell Modules" formulated and published by the Japan Photovoltaic Energy
Association. In addition, creating a correspondence table between the constituent partsof the solar cell module and the four parts shown in the information provision.
Excerpt of "Guidelines for Providing Information Contribution to Proper Disposal of Used Solar Cell Modules"
4. Types and thresholds of target substances for which information must be provided
1) Target substanceConsidering the viewpoint of chemical substances that may affect the environment at the time ofdisposal and the high possibility of inclusion depending on the type of photovoltaic power
generation module, the following four substances are targeted.
Lead, cadmium, arsenic, selenium2) Content rate standard value
The content rate standard value at the time of labeling shall be as follows, and if it exceeds this, it
shall be labeled by the method specified in Section 4.
Lead: 0.1wt%
Cadmium: 0.1wt%
Arsenic: 0.1wt%
Selenium: 0.1wt%
The content rate of the target substance is a theoretical value calculated by dividing the mass ofeach of the four parts (*) that make up the module part that can be disassembled relatively easily
as the denominator and the content of the target chemical substance in each part as thenumerator.
(*) ① Frame, ② Screw, ③ Cable, ④ Laminated part (including terminal box, parts other than ①,②, ③)
