Thailand’s aggressive solar rooftop and floating-farm programmes are generating a fast-growing stream of end-of-life panels. If you plan to setup a solar PV panel recycling plant in Thailand, follow the three core steps below to stay compliant, efficient and profitable.

Solar panel recycling 

Step 1: Administrative Approval & Compliance

Submit your investment registration to the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) to unlock tax holidays and duty-free import privileges, then file the Environmental Impact Assessment with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and obtain the Factory Operating Licence from the provincial Industrial Office; green-industry projects now receive priority review and fast-track issuance.

Step 2: Site Selection & Facility Planning

Locate inside an eco-industrial estate or Eastern Economic Corridor zone that already provides stable power, industrial water and pre-treated wastewater services, while offering direct access to Bangkok’s deep-sea ports, motorways and rail links for smooth inbound and outbound logistics. Ensure the plot has ample covered space for panel reception, manual and automated dismantling lines, metal/plastic sorting bays and finished-fraction storage under Thailand’s tropical climate.

Step 3: Selecting & Installing Solar Panel Recycling Equipment

Choose modular equipment whose throughput matches your projected intake of Thai silicon, CdTe and thin-film panels, with automated feeding, intelligent sorting and continuous-flow design plus integrated dust removal to meet Thailand’s air-quality standards.
