Evaluating the Availability of Gallium, Indium, and Tellurium from Recycled Photovoltaic Modules

Redlinger, Michael; Eggert, Roderick; Woodhouse, Michael - Division of Economics and Business, Colorado School of Mines - 2014

The use of thin-film copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) and cadmium-telluride (CdTe) in solar technologies has grown rapidly in recent years, leading to an increased demand for gallium, indium, and tellurium. In the coming years, recycling these elements from end-of-life photovoltaic (PV)...
