Solar Recycling
Industrial photovoltaic panel recycling and recovery of value from reclaimed materials.
We support plant owners, photovoltaic operators and collection networks in managing end-of-life modules.
We also develop supplies of recovered materials for processors, recyclers and industrial users.
Have panels to recycle?
Batches from end-of-life installations, repowering, maintenance or replacement. We develop ongoing agreements and dedicated collection programmes for individual projects.
Looking for recovered materials?
Sampling, qualification and agreed specifications. We agree quantities, packaging and deliveries based on available production.
Collection, treatment and recovery
A service tailored to the characteristics of each batch, with automated material separation.
Glass removal without combustion or chemical treatment.
Batch assessment
Quantity, type and condition of the panels, and collection location.
Logistics planning
Delivery to Grugliasco or collection to be arranged with authorised carriers.
Acceptance and treatment
Compatibility checks, weighing and identification. Separation of frames, glass and laminate fractions.
Documentation and reporting
Reporting of delivery data and quantities treated.
Crystalline silicon modules, both monocrystalline and polycrystalline, monofacial and bifacial, in glass/glass and glass/backsheet configurations.
We also assess obsolete modules and panels with broken glass or hail damage. Acceptance depends on the characteristics of each batch.
Recovered materials
Six recovered material fractions.
New opportunities for industrial use.
Aluminium
Foundries and metallurgy
Copper
Metallurgical processors
Glass
Processing and construction
Plastics
Specialist recyclers
Silicon
Further processing
J-box
Specialist recovery
Purity percentages: reference values for the recycling system. Composition, quality and supply specifications must be checked for each batch.
The Grugliasco site
Solar Recycling was established at the Mechatronix site as part of the redevelopment of the former Lear factory. Manufacturing, mechanical engineering and mechatronics expertise serving the photovoltaic supply chain.
