Making solar even more sustainable by building a circular economy

Our Mission

Your advanced solar recycling solutions company.

SOLARCYCLE® provides an affordable, eco-friendly process to recycle solar panels and repurpose the materials for new uses.

We partner with the nation’s leading solar companies to recycle their solar systems and build a circular solar economy.

Solar energy is powering the world – but the complete energy transition requires an unprecedented volume of solar panels.

In order to make this transformation truly sustainable, it is imperative to create a circular economy for these materials and components. The more we can repair, refurbish, reuse and ultimately recycle solar systems, the faster we can transition to a world without new mining operations that pollute and contribute to the climate crisis.

Customers and employees of SOLARCYCLE review a broken down solar panel.

Meet our founders

Our experts in solar, recycling and sustainability created SOLARCYCLE to solve this challenge at scale. Together, we have developed patented technology and a scalable business model that can cost-effectively return more than 95% of the valuable materials in a panel to the solar supply chain.

Our values

Sustainability

We are here to make the world a better place by solving the world’s most pressing and challenging environmental problems. We think with a long-term, holistic view because our people AND mission matter.

Innovation

We are not content with the status quo, no matter howgood or easy it may seem. We strive to always improve and invent better ways of doing things. As an innovative technology company, new ideas and solutions are not only encouraged, they are necessary.

Learning

We bring a growth mindset that is open to new perspectives that can come from anyone or anywhere. Each day is a new day to learn new things. We share knowledge freely, because we know it will come back twice-over. We are a community of problem solvers.

Speed

We move fast, collect information quickly, make decisions and move forward. We don’t settle for slow because we are solving important problems on existentially tight timelines – speed matters as much as quality.

Scale

What we are doing is important, so we think big, and focus on scale to create the most positive impact. We think on a global scale and what matters most for both the environment and the economy.

Clarity

We seek knowledge to fully understand situations, challenges and opportunities. We communicate clearly to provide others with information they need to make the best decisions and actions to create the best possible outcomes.

Service

We are here to help and serve each other, our customers and our partners. We strive to provide the best service, reliably and dependably, internally and externally. We believe this creates greatness.

Ownership

We believe in taking proactive ownership at a company, team and individual level to do what is needed for success. We focus on getting the job done right and own up to mistakes we make along the way.
