Reducing the EU dependence on critical raw materials for solar panel production
Development of technological solutions for reusing Silicon, recycling PV modules and designing new products
Resilex aims to improve the resilience and sustainability of the entire Silicon value chain in the EU.
Reducing EU dependence on Silicon imports from third countries
Developing a new carbon-free and more efficient process for the production of Silicon
Recycling end-of-use solar PV panels for producing Li-ion battery cells
RESiLEX will reduce the environmental footprint of Solar Panels production
The project will impact on the whole Silicon value chain: starting from developing more efficient photovoltaic solar cells and modules, up to implementing a new circular model, where end-of-life solar panels are recycled and reused
