With an exciting rise in the transition to renewable energy sources, the number of solar panels in use throughout the United States is taking off.
While this is a great leap in the right direction, there remains one large, undeniable problem with solar panels that startup Solarcycle aims to solve; solar panel waste.
Currently, solar panels have a lifespan of roughly 25-30 years and 90 percent are destined to end up in landfills. Solarcycle is confident in their technologies ability to tremendously decrease this percentage by extracting a great deal of material from each solar panel to be returned to the cycle or put to use in other ways.
