Abstract
A method of delaminating a photovoltaic module is disclosed wherein the photovoltaic module comprises at least one solar cell having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first protective sheet, and a first encapsulant material positioned between the first surface of the at least one solar cell and the first protective sheet and fixing the first protective sheet to the at least one solar cell, the method comprising applying microwave radiation to the at least one solar cell to heat the at least one solar cell to a temperature above a melting or softening temperature of the first encapsulant material, wherein heat is transferred from the at least one solar cell to the first encapsulant material. A method of manufacturing a photovoltaic module is also disclosed that comprises applying microwave radiation to at least one solar cell.
