Προπτυχιακή εργασία που υποβλήθηκε στη σχολή ΜΠΔ του Πολ. Κρήτης για την πλήρωση προϋποθέσεων λήψης του Προπτυχιακού Διπλώματος.Summarization: Product redesign based on end-of-life treatment is currently addressing many products in electrical and electronic equipment. Recycling efforts for photovoltaic (PV) panels after their end-of-life is an active research topic, as their use increases rapidly all over Europe, and starting from the end of this decade, PV panels waste is expected to increase exponentially. The main part of this waste consists of conventional materials (aluminum, glass), and depending on the technology of the PV panel hazardous materials (lead, cadmium) and rare metals (silver, indium, gallium, germanium) may be contained. This thesis presents and compares the various technologies and types of photovoltaic panels. The analysis is focused in the disassembly process of the photovoltaic panels, as well as in the description of their dominant recycling procedures that have been applied with satisfying results. Moreover, the relative legislative network of photovoltaic panel recycling is also provided. Finally, this thesis contains the description of a website implementation that has been made by using HTML language. The content of this website is related with photovoltaic panels recycling
