Recycling solar cell waste from end-of-life solar modules to silicon metal
We recycle silicon from end-of-life solar modules and provide the recycled silicon as a raw material to various industries. By 2030 around 1 Mio. tons of solar modules will be ready for recycling. By recycling silicon, we address the growing need for recycling of solar modules and can achieve the industry’s lowest carbon footprint in production of silicon as a raw material. Silicon is an essential raw material for our modern society and can be found in everyday products. Some examples are light-weight aluminum materials for packaging and car parts, silicones for cosmetic products, and of course high-purity silicon for computer chips and solar cells.
