    This Market is not new its just not all that profitable. I've read on other forums about this and its all been a money losing adventure if you have to pay for them. If you get them free or as a byproduct it may net some money. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer about their recycling experience for them in the US and EU. The Eu might be better as they have better recycling requirement than the US. Also If you can contact some silicon buyers they may be interested.

    You are looking at lots of work and little values in them. More than likely the manufacturers will have to do buy back programs for these too.



    If they were mine I would set up a store for people to buy broken PVs cheap I bet they would sell and make more money. Or grind them up and make cement aggregate with them.
