Maxeon Solar Technologies has launched a partnership with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, or NTU Singapore, through its Energy Research Institute at NTU, or ERI@n, to research ways to improve solar recycling. Recycling is a key challenge for the solar industry as older panels reach the end of their useful lives. This partnership is part of Maxeon’s effort to power a circular economy, an ongoing project that the company has synthesized into a single comprehensive circular economy policy document published today too: ‘Powering a Circular Economy: Sustainable Manufacturing and Recycling’. NTU ERI@N is a leading energy-focused research institute in Asia with comprehensive research facilities and deep expertise in the area of solar recycling. Through this partnership, NTU ERI@N and Maxeon Solar Technologies will collaborate to investigate green chemistries, explore opportunities for upcycling components, and identify ways to maximise material recovery. NTU ERI@N will also perform a comprehensive lifecycle assessment of Maxeon’s high-efficiency Interdigitated Back Contact panels at the end of their useful life.
