SOLARCYCLE

Welcome to West Texas! This week the marketing team flew to Odessa Texas to film an exclusive virtual tour of REC1, where we are perfecting advanced solar panel recycling.🌵☀️ We recycled ~500,000 solar panels here in 2024 and plan to do 1M+ in 2025. ♻️ That's solar circularity in action. SOLARCYCLE is a technology company focused on innovation. Our team of engineers and PhDs are building a patented platform to maximize the value of retired solar materials and power American energy dominance. Contact us to schedule a virtual tour (NDA-only). 📹   📸 Pictured: Robert Vinje ready to showcase our next generation deframer, a shipment of aluminum on the way to its next life, super sacks of recovered solarMETAL, and Jesse Simons and Rachel Cifarelli taking a Golden State Warriors break after a full day of filming.

Exciting news from SOLARCYCLE! 🚀   We're pleased to welcome Benjamin Buckley, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer, to the team. 👏👏👏   With extensive experience in corporate law, compliance, and scaling high-growth companies, Ben will play a key role accelerating SOLARCYCLE's impact as we advance solar panel recycling and onshore solar manufacturing.   Ben is succeeding Theodore Herhold who is retiring at the end of the month after playing a foundational role in the company's growth.   More about Ben's appointment in today's release 👉  https://lnkd.in/g8HFEyEU   #SolarRecycling #CleanEnergy #Leadership #Sustainability

Less than 2 weeks until Intersolar & Energy Storage North America! ☀️ ⚡ Don’t miss Jesse Simons on the panel: Closing the Loop - Recycling Solar Panels and Batteries for a Sustainable Future. ♻️ Plus Ryan Booth, Lizzy Aldridge, Matthew Gough, and Regan Keller will be there - drop us a line to connect in San Diego! 👋 #IESNA 2025

🇺🇸 This is energy dominance in action. 🇺🇸 American solar manufacturers now generate 50 GW of module capacity right here on home turf. For the first time ever, the US is producing more solar panels than it consumes.   As a solar panel recycler, our goal is to bring even more of the solar supply chain onshore by mining and refining an untapped source: retired solar panels.   By extracting aluminum, steel, silver, copper, glass, and other precious minerals from end-of-life panels, and returning them to the domestic supply chain, we're providing the materials needed to make our economy the strongest in the world while creating good, family-sustaining jobs for our local communities. 💪 💪 💪 Our Circular Solar Campus in Cedartown Georgia will employ more than 1200+ hardworking Americans and be the first facility in the world to turn recycled glass cutlet into new solar glass. ☀️ Exciting work ahead! ☀️

☀️ Meet us at RE+ Northeast! ☀️ Our Director of Sales, Lizzy Aldridge, will be attending RE+ Northeast next week to discuss innovative end-of-life solar solutions. ♻️ 🌎 Will you be in Boston next week?

Circularity is no longer just a buzzword. 🌎 A survey from World Economic Forum of 420 global executives across 10 manufacturing industries revealed that nearly 75% consider circularity vital to business growth, a significant rise from just 40% three years ago.    We're seeing this shift firsthand in the energy sector. When SOLARCYCLE was founded in 2022, circularity was a bold idea for climate tech. Today, we're partnered with 80+ global energy leaders to advance PV recycling and close the solar supply chain loop. ☀️   In 2024, through these partnerships we: ✅ Recycled nearly 500,000 solar panels ✅ Returned 2M+ pounds of aluminum and other valuable materials to the supply chain   Building circularity into a business's bottom line isn't easy––it takes resources, strategy, and good partners who share your vision. We're proud to collaborate with the energy leaders who are driving real impact.

End-of-life solar panel waste in the US is expected to reach 1M tons in 2030. That's 30-40M solar panels that we can either trash or treasure. We choose treasure. 🌍 Analysts predict recyclable materials from solar panels will be worth $2.7B by 2030 and $80B by 2050.

SOLARCYCLE is proud to be included in the 2025 Global Cleantech 100 by Cleantech Group for our achievements in solar panel recycling innovation! 🎉   "Experts believe that the world will soon see hundreds of millions of solar panels reaching the end of their life every year. This creates a massive opportunity to recapture those critical minerals and efficiently and profitably return them to the solar supply chain. We appreciate the recognition as we work to close the loop for the solar and we applaud the other leaders named who are similarly pushing the envelope." - Suvi Sharma, SOLARCYCLE CEO and Co-Founder   Congratulations to all #GCT100 honorees! 👏 Learn more about the global report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/grt285Hj   Suvi Sharma Jesse Simons Robert Vinje Pablo Dias Cody Mueller

That’s a lot of solar! Congratulations to the industry on another landmark year in 2024. It's critical that we scale advanced solar recycling to match the pace of deployment in 2025. Advanced solar recycling means optimizing value extraction to maximize material recovery and meet a standard of purity that allows the materials to be reintroduced into the solar supply chain. Our customers and partners get it. We're closing this year celebrating their leadership building a circular solar economy and making solar even more sustainable. Join us!

With SOLARCYCLE's help, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. recycles 97% of broken panels on its construction sites. ☀️ 🌎 “SOLARCYCLE is providing a clear example on how we ought to set up a recycling industry that supports a circular economy.” - Steffanie Dohn, McCarthy Building Companies The EPC’s panel recycling program not only benefits its clients by helping them reach their sustainability goals, but also speaks to the company’s philosophy of “we, not I.” Thank you Steffanie and McCarthy for your work making solar even more sustainable! 👏 Hear from more partners about their decision to work with SOLARCYCLE 👉 https://lnkd.in/gjUixq6P Suvi Sharma Jesse Simons Pablo Dias Robert Vinje Cody Mueller Ryan Booth Lizzy Aldridge Lauren G. #SolarRecycling #Circularity #SolarManufacturing #Manufacturing #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #PVrecycling
