The CADlab team of the School of Production Engineering and Management of the Technical University of Crete developed a unified production line for crystalline photovoltaic panel recycling as a part of the research program Redesign & Recycling of Photovoltaic Module Recycling, RE-PV. The industrial unit that was designed, addresses the promising domain of “Making Solar Energy Economical”, one of the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering identified by the US National Academy of Engineering. The scope of the project is the parametric design of an integrated crystalline silicon PV recycling process, applicable to the industrial level, with the use of CATIA design platform.
The contest was organized by Dassault Systèmes. The CADlab team of Meletios Rentoumis and Ilias Athanailidis, under the supervision of professor Nikolaos Bilalis, conquered the first place among 432 team projects submitted from all over the world.
