Key information

APOLLO project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme.​

APOLLO is an acronym for "A Proactive Approach to the Recovery and Recycling of Photovoltaic Modules".

We are focused on revolutionizing recycling practices for Photovoltaic (PV) waste modules.

Objectives

Pre-recycling analysis and classification of PV modules by glass composition

Specify and build future PV modules (standard c-Si and tandem Per/Si) with improved recyclability incorporating APOLLO innovations

Pilot processing line to extract all of the material fractions of legacy and future PVs

Develop and implement a PV-centred Digital Product Passport (DPP) facilitating an online marketplace

Refinement of reclaimed PV Si to facilitate ingot growth for new PV

Develop, quantify and promote a new circular business model for waste PV
