Solarcycle to Build $344 Million Recycled Solar Glass Factory in Georgia, Boosting US Solar Manufacturing Capacity.

Solarcycle is set to build a recycled solar glass factory in Georgia, US, costing US$344 million. The facility will produce enough solar glass for between 5GW and 6GW of PV capacity annually and will also recycle modules. The glass will be sold back to domestic, US solar manufacturers and will help fill a gap in the country’s supply chain to build more solar panels in America. Construction will begin in 2024, with operations set to begin in 2026. Solarcycle’s business model is based on “high-value” recycling, which it claims can recover 95% of the financial value from a decommissioned module. However, a domestic circular economy is likely still a long way away for the US solar industry as most solar products are still imported to the country.
