solar recycling

Western Australia’s Lithium Universe has secured the commercial rights for a solar PV module recycling technology known as Microwave Joule Heating Technology (MJHT).

Utility giant Engie North America has incorporated a precycling provision to incorporate solar panel and project component recycling into power purchase agreements (PPA) at four solar PV plants across the Midwest, US.

Australia-based solar module recycling group Lotus Energy has confirmed it will build a US$250 million recycling facility in Saxony, Germany.

About AU$2.5 million of the funding will be used to ensure that residential solar modules can avoid landfills and are repurposed for parts.
