Silfab Solar has made an agreement with SOLARCYCLE to purchase ultra-low carbon domestic glass for its PV panels from the glass manufacturer’s forthcoming Georgia facility that will recycle materials from retired panels to make new solar glass.
“SOLARCYCLE is an ideal partner because of its demonstrated success and innovative processes that already have made Silfab a more sustainable operation,” says Paolo Maccario, Silfab president and CEO. “Utilizing American-produced glass in our PV modules further meets the county’s demands for USA content in made-in-America clean energy products and creates additional U.S. jobs.”
With the planned SOLARCYCLE glass facility located about 300 miles from Silfab Solar’s newest factory in South Carolina, the companies estimate to be reducing the climate impacts created during shipping by more than 50%.
Silfab also plans to send its older or under-performing modules, as well as materials left over from the production process, to SOLARCYCLE for recycling.

My biggest beef with Trump isn’t the many individual points of failure, but the fact that they are all the product of the mind of a criminal sociopath whose only way of thinking is self-enrichment, normally at the expense of anyone who cannot serve to make him richer and more powerful.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson says that our problem isn’t that our children don’t understand science, but that our adults don’t.
Three comments:
1) Wind is not a finite resource as long as the sun comes up every morning and disproportionately heats the Earth’s surface. 8th grade Earth science.
2) Wind doesn’t cool anything except the skins of certain animals that perspire. 9th grade biology.
3) Putting one’s ignorance of public display is not a strong idea, even in rural Texas.
At this point in the decay of the American democracy, anyone overtly and publicly critical of Trump who believes he’s not on a government watch list is an idiot.
