FORESi | FOstering a Recycled European Silicon supply

Summary
The project FORESi aims at FOstering a Recycled European Silicon supply. through the first worldwide industrial demonstration of a cradle-to-cradle Silicon value chain. To contribute to a sustainable energy sovereignty for Europe, FORESi will demonstrate a circular recycling process from end-of-life PV panels towards new photovoltaics and EV batteries applications. The project will demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental viability of the entire recycling process, and deliver the design of an optimised recycling turnkey factory of end-of-life PV panels, paving the way for a European industrial mass production of recycled Silicon.
FORESi will also develop an online integrated platform for recovery of PV panels, and deliver a PV Testing Methodology to Reuse and Repair EoL PV modules.
