Clean tech · Net zero
A second life for solar.
End-of-life panels. Resources for tomorrow.
01 / SOLAR FIELDS
Clean energy begins here. Its materials deserve another life.
Solar fields become a collection of end-of-life panels. One cracked panel is selected and its layers open, then close. Robot arms remove its aluminum frame while the junction box is detached. Glass is lifted and crushed. The remaining laminate enters a shredder, becoming a dark mixed fraction that passes through a gravity separator. Recovered resources continue into six collection streams.
02 / Material recovery
Six outlets. Six material streams.
Follow each resource from separation
to its own collection bin.
Hover an outlet. Choose a material. Follow its next life.
