Abstract
A system for physically dismantling a solar cell module includes two fragmenting apparatuses. The solar cell module includes a cell encapsulation laminate, and a back plate and a cover plate respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the cell encapsulation laminate. Each fragmenting apparatus includes a platform, a fragmenting unit disposed on and movable relative to the platform in three axial directions for fragmenting one of the cell encapsulation laminate and the back plate of the solar cell module, and a material-collecting and sorting device connected to the platform and the fragmenting unit for collecting and sorting recycled materials produced by the fragmenting unit.
