About SOLAR MATERIALS
We are a start-up from Braunschweig, Germany, that deals with the recycling of solar modules. We develop technologies to recycle photovoltaic modules (PV modules) cleanly and economically. By using physical-mechanical processes, we avoid the use of cost-intensive and less sustainable chemicals. Our goal is the complete recovery of all raw materials.
Our goal is a green energy supply through photovoltaics. Through our recycling process, we close the raw material cycle of photovoltaics and thus create a valuable contribution to improving the resource efficiency and CO2 balance of solar modules.
Solar modules contain a variety of raw materials such as glass, aluminum, various plastics, silicon, copper and silver. Especially the functional materials of solar cells, silicon and silver, are lost through current recycling processes and end up in landfills. SOLAR MATERIALS' recycling process is the first in the world to recover all raw materials from solar modules in an economical and energy-efficient way.
