Discover the EVERPV project
What happens to solar panels at the end of their life? This video introduces EVERPV’s work to improve PV module recycling, recover valuable materials, and strengthen circular value chains in Europe. Our new EVERPV video provides a clear overview of the project’s goals and the technologies the consortium is developing.
EVERPV Scientific Workshop explores next steps for circular PV module recycling
On 1-2 July 2026, the EVERPV project held its Scientific Workshop, “PV Module Recycling: Technologies, Materials and Circularity Challenges,” at CSEM in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The two-day workshop brought together researchers, recycling technology developers, industrial stakeholders and circular economy experts. Together, they discussed the latest progress in photovoltaic (PV) module recycling, material recovery and circular value […]
How can Europe make solar truly circular?
This was the central question behind the EVERPV workshop on “The Future of PV Circularity: Opportunities, Challenges and Market Pathways”, where experts from across the solar value chain came together to discuss the next steps for PV recycling, reuse and material recovery. Over two days, we explored major advances in PV module recycling from mechanical […]
EVERPV project partner ENEA presents recycling activities at SUM2026
EVERPV project partner ENEA presented PV recycling activities at SUM2026, the 9th Multidisciplinary Symposium on Circular Economy and Urban Mining, held from 20-22 May 2026 in Procida, Naples, Italy. ENEA contributed to the symposium’s poster session with a presentation titled “Experimental recycling processes to recover materials from photovoltaic panels”. This contribution highlighted work linked to […]
Press Release: EVERPV project launches breakthrough delamination technology
Since July 2025, EVERPV project partner CEA’s sanding technology has become fully operational at Envie 2e Aquitaine’s facility in Saint-Loubès, France. The EVERPV project aims to improve two recycling techniques for the end-of-life solar PV panels. These techniques are focused on delamination, i.e. separating the different layers of the solar PV panel to recover materials. […]
EVERPV showcases solar PV recycling innovation at EU PVSEC 2025
The EVERPV project and its partners were pleased to take part in the 42nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC 2025), held in Bilbao, Spain. The event brought together key stakeholders from across the solar value chain to explore the latest advances in solar photovoltaic technology. Throughout the conference, EVERPV partners contributed […]
EVERPV partners meet in Saint-Loubès to review progress and witness pilot line in action
On 1-2 October 2025, EVERPV project partners convened in Saint-Loubès, near Bordeaux, France, for the project’s fourth General Assembly. The meeting marked a key milestone in the Horizon Europe-funded initiative, offering a moment to assess progress, align on next steps and witness the pilot line for solar PV recycling in operation at Envie’s facility. The […]
Exploring CEA’s innovative delamination process
End-of-life management will become a significant component of the solar PV value chain. The recycling of solar PV panels at their end-of-life and the recovery of their materials can unlock a large stock of raw materials. The recovered material can be injected back into the economy in a circular way, and used in the production […]
Highlights from EVERPV’s third General Assembly
On 6–7 February 2025, EVERPV project partners convened at the CEA facilities in Grenoble, France, for the project’s third General Assembly. The meeting served as a crucial moment to assess progress, align on key achievements, and plan upcoming activities. The first day of the assembly focused primarily on the technical work packages. Partners shared updates […]
