„Solar panels are built to last forever. But instead, they should actually be made for an eternal cycle. A circular process modeled on nature would be ideal: In a forest, the leaves fall from the trees - on the ground they decompose and thus provide the material for new plants. If we can achieve this in photovoltaics, we could develop renewable energy further - into truly sustainable energy. This is what we are researching."

We need circular recycling to overcome the resource challenges with photovoltaics (PV) at terrawatt level. The current recycling of PV modules is not truly circular in practice. Solution-fabricated perovskite solar cells offer new opportunities for recycling that are not available to conventional silicon solar cells. Our process involves the production of reference cells and dummy modules for recycling. The recycled material is used for the production of new solar cells. We can recycle all components of a perovskite solar cell (with MaPbI3) without loss of efficiency, which is currently around 18%. The challenges are degraded material and very thin layers.
