A New Chapter Begins: From Solar Waste to High-Tech Energy ♻️➡️⚡
"Building on our legacy, our new project upcycles end-of-life PV modules into high-performance battery anodes for a sustainable future."
Research
PVREfaCE is reshaping the future of solar energy technologies through the principles of the circular economy.
Having set out in 2021 as Turkey's first photovoltaic (PV) module recycling research group under the TÜBİTAK 1001 program, our team is now taking this vision a step further.
Today, we are taking this vision to a strategic new level with our current project, "Upcycling Photovoltaic Panel Waste into High-Performance Energy Storage Materials within the Scope of Circular Economy", also supported by TÜBİTAK 1001- The Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program.
The project is carried out in cooperation with expert academics at Ege University Solar Energy Institute. Our initiative also fosters a dynamic and young research environment, powered by the contributions of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students.
