New plant plans to recycle 30% of US' retired solar panels in 2030


SOLARCYCLE's new solar recycling plant in Cedartown, Georgia, aims to process 10 million solar panels each year, starting with an initial capacity of 2 million panels annually.

The project aims to address the growing need for end-of-life solutions in the solar industry, as millions of panels installed in the past decade approach the end of their life cycle. By maintaining this close-loop recycling approach, SOLARCYCLE aims to support domestic solar production and reduce reliance on imported raw materials for new panels. Other SOLARCYCLE investors include Fifth Wall, HG Ventures, and Closed Loop Partners, each committed to advancing circular economies and sustainable resource recovery.
