Recycling Tomorrow’s Solar Modules: What happens with Perovskite-Silicon Tandems at End of Life?
Perovskite-silicon tandem modules promise higher efficiencies than conventional silicon solar modules. But what happens when they reach the end of their lifetime? A new publication in Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells by QUASAR partners IPVF and bifa Umweltinstitut, together with TotalEnergies OneTech, compares four recycling routes for tandem modules and assesses both their economic […]
Advancing the Circular Economy in Europe’s Solar Photovoltaic Industry
As Europe’s solar fleet matures, the industry is entering a new phase: managing end-of-life (EOL) assets sustainably while maintaining competitiveness. The QUASAR project shows how a circular economy for photovoltaics can be achieved – by combining strategic planning, technological innovation and digitalisation. Plan circularity from the start A central insight is that circularity must start […]
