Today we are excited to announce our 3rd and largest solar panel recycling facility, in partnership with #Georgia Office of Governor Brian P. Kemp The facility will be the largest in the US, capable of processing 10 million panels per year at full capacity. That’s enough to handle 25-30% of the US solar panels reaching end of life in 2030. The 255,000 sq ft facility will sit directly across from the land we have purchased from the Cedartown Development Authority, where we will soon begin construction on the first-of-its-kind solar glass factory at our Cedartown Georgia campus -- creating 1250+ family-sustaining jobs and investing more than $400M. This circular economy campus represents and advances our commitment to onshoring the #clean energy supply chain. With this announcement, we are thrilled to welcome Microsoft to our bench of strategic partners, including Fifth Wall, HG Ventures, Prologis Ventures, Closed Loop Partners, and Urban Innovation Fund. Thank you to our partners and customers for their support for this milestone and continued leadership making solar even more sustainable with SOLARCYCLE.

Big news for domestic solar manufacturing this week: the U.S. Department of the Treasury confirmed that solar ingot and wafer production will qualify for the Section 48D ITC. ☀️ The decision will help onshore more of the US solar supply chain, creating good jobs and economic development as a result. We applaud the Treasury for taking this step and accelerating a circular economy for solar in America. Bloomberg on the ruling's impacts here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gNUUT3PJ This is the latest example of effective federal leadership in clean energy policy. Last week, Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder Jesse Simons discussed the success of the IRA, using SOLARCYCLE as a case study 👉 https://lnkd.in/geZjwhex

The Inflation Reduction Act is working: in less than two years it has created 150k family-sustaining jobs, generated $387B+ for the US economy, and scaled domestic solar panel production 8 👉 30 GW. Look no further than SOLARCYCLE for an example of the policy's impacts. From expanding our flagship advanced recycling operations in Texas to announcing America's first solar glass factory in Georgia, SOLARCYCLE is rapidly accelerating the circular solar economy with policy tailwinds. ☀ 🇺🇸 Our Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Jesse Simons discusses the value of effective federal clean energy policy for industry growth, domestic manufacturing, job creation, and the climate crisis in the latest from SOLARCYCLE: https://lnkd.in/geZjwhex

Director of Government Affairs Nicholas Cain, PhD joined SOLARCYCLE partner Martin Pochtaruk, President of Heliene, onstage last week at Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MnSEIA)’s Gateway to Solar conference to discuss the policy frameworks necessary to advance a circular, closed-loop solar economy. We thank MnSEIA and Heliene for their leadership advancing PV recycling and domestic solar manufacturing!
Minnesota has become a top state for #solar #PV — and for thinking creatively about how to manage panels at end of life. So it was a pleasure for me to travel to Minneapolis to talk circularity with Martin Pochtaruk, Janette Freeman and Emilie O'Leary. Plus I got to walk around Lake Harriet in 70-degree weather, which I've been told is close to the year-round temperature 🙃 Thanks to Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MnSEIA) for hosting and thanks to all who attended and asked great questions.

Today we’re announcing our partnership with Runergy Alabama Inc to supply ultra-low carbon glass from our cutting-edge solar glass factory in Cedartown Georgia, and to provide comprehensive recycling services for Runergy’s retired solar products. By both investing in upcycled solar glass and sustainably recycling end-of-life modules, Runergy is advancing our mission of building a circular solar supply chain. The partnership is part of continued momentum at our Cedartown solar glass factory, announced early this year. The factory is one of the first to produce specialized glass for crystalline-silicon PV in the U.S. Once complete, it will be able to produce 5-6 GW of solar glass every year, filling a critical gap in the country’s domestic solar supply chain. ☀ 🇺🇸 Read more about our partnership here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gKJugREQ Suvi Sharma Jesse Simons Pablo Dias Robert Vinje Lizzy Aldridge Cody Mueller Ryan Booth

SOLARCYCLE was honored to be part of this Ørsted event celebrating the opening of their 11 Mile project – over 800,000 panels and 300MW - cleanly powering the great state of #arizona and creating tons of quality jobs up and down the economy. Orsted was one of our earliest customers, so it was particularly exciting to see this project come to fruition and know that we were part of helping them #recycle the construction breakage, #domesticate the #supplychain and make #solar even more #sustainable. Let's do this! David Dixon Diego Rivera David Hardy Lauryn Bush Susan Sloan Hayes Framme Ryan Booth Matthew Gough Jia D. Suvi Sharma Robert Vinje Pablo Dias Jesse Simons

Join SOLARCYCLE's CTO Pablo Dias for an engaging webinar on closed-loop solar manufacturing, hosted by NorCal AEE and the Association of Energy Engineers. Pablo will outline how the industry can generate new value by harvesting and repurposing critical materials from end-of-life PV modules, and the technological and cultural advancements needed to realize a true circular solar economy.
*End of Life Solar PV modules CAN Get a new life* Date: Wednesday, Oct 2, 2024 Time 4:30PM - 6PM Pacific Webinar Registration: https://lnkd.in/exE2ncCR The solar industry is in a unique position to actualize a true circular economy, potentially setting a precedent for other sectors. SOLARCYCLE lead by CTO Dr. Pablo Dias, has done some exceptional work in this space. It is a tech-driven recycling company focused on producing sustainable and domestic materials at scale for the solar industry. Dr Pablo is a world-renowned researcher in the field of solar PV module and e-waste recycling technologies, conducting leading-edge research in innovative processes and methodologies for high-value, low-cost PV recycling. He has authored numerous seminal research papers in the field, holds multiple patents in photovoltaic recycling, and has authored several book chapters on the topic. Most recently, he was a researcher and lecturer at University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia. Pablo holds a PhD from UFRGS (Brazil), a PhD from Macquarie University (Australia) both in the field of e-waste recycling and management, and a Master of Science in photovoltaics recycling. His work has appeared in The Guardian, Cosmos, Nature, PV Tech, and Solar Power World. In 2023, Business Insider named him to their Climate Action 30 list, highlighting 30 global leaders working towards climate solutions. cc: Association of Energy Engineers #Solar #PV #Recycling #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #SolarCycle #PhotoVoltaic #Recycle #Reuse #Repurpose #MaterialEmissions #AEE #NorCalAEE #AEENorCal
