Pioneering Circular Economy in Solar Panel Recycling: A Green Tech Collaboration

Malaviya Solar Energy Consultancy in Pune has partnered with Germany's LuxChemtech GmbH to gain exclusive technology for solar panel recycling. The initiative backs a zero-waste, circular economy using an eco-friendly patented process with high metal recovery. The tie-up aims to enhance India's solar energy efforts.

In an ambitious stride towards sustainable energy management, Malaviya Solar Energy Consultancy, located in Pune, solidified a groundbreaking agreement with German-based LuxChemtech GmbH. This exclusive technology licensing pact focuses on innovative solar panel recycling, following the zero waste ethos and advocating a genuine circular economy.

The collaboration centers around a sophisticated, eco-friendly technology that ensures over 98% metal recovery from end-of-life solar panels. LuxChemtech, renowned for their high-tech recycling methodologies, employs a water and organic chemical-based process to dissect metals, significantly boosting Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) value.

This development is pivotal as India aims for 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, a goal heavily reliant on solar photovoltaics (PV). Such initiatives are vital, considering regulatory changes mandating safe disposal of solar panels to avoid landfill contributions, ensuring sustainable advancement in India's green energy sector.
