PROJECT OVERVIEW

About the Project

  • EVERPV focuses on optimising two innovative delamination technologies, a technique to separate the different layers of the solar panel: one involving grinding solar panel waste from the back, and another utilising infrared lamps for heating.
  • These technologies will allow the separation of different solar panel layers, and the efficient recovery and reuse of silver, glass, and polymers from these panels.
  • The project will also demonstrate the potential reusability of recovered materials across various industrial value chains, especially in the solar industry.

EVERPV’s goals

1

Optimise delamination processes for solar panel recycling

2

Separate and recover high-purity silver, polymers, and glass

3

Demonstrate the reusability of the recovered materials in the solar value chain, and other relevant industries (building, automotive, packaging, etc)

4

Reduce the solar industry’s environmental impact

EVERPV’s
importance

  • Introduce new business models, and open new markets in solar recycling
  • Reduce dependency on primary raw materials through the circular use of resources​
  • Contribute to sustainable job creation in Europe​
  • Strengthen domestic sourcing of raw materials in the EU
