SOLARCYCLE is set to add a 5 GW recycling facility in Cedartown, Ga., in partnership with Georgia’s governor, Brian P. Kemp.
The 255,000 square foot facility is slated to have the capacity to recycle and recover materials from 10 million solar panels per year, says the company. It is set to initially recycle 2 million solar panels annually and scale as the company meets growing market demand for end-of-life solar services and domestic solar supply.
The facility will be adjacent to SOLARCYCLE’s solar glass factory, announced in February.
“We are pleased to accelerate our work in Cedartown, Georgia in response to continued demand for solar recycling. By scaling recycling and solar glass manufacturing through a vertically integrated process, we are filling a critical gap in America’s solar supply chain and closing the loop for domestic solar manufacturing,” says Suvi Sharma, CEO and co-founder of SOLARCYCLE.
“We thank Governor Kemp and the Biden-Harris Administration for their success driving clean energy policy forward. Their leadership has made it possible for the industry to grow operations in the U.S. and bring good jobs and meaningful investment to local communities as a result.”
To support the acceleration and expansion of the SOLARCYCLE economy campus in Cedartown, the company welcomes Microsoft to its investors, which includes Fifth Wall, HG Ventures, Prologis Ventures, Closed Loop Partners and Urban Innovation Fund.
The facility will debut SOLARCYCLE’s next generation recycling process which the company says will have the capacity to recover 99% of PV materials and is optimized for bifacial C-Si panels.
Recovered materials from this recycling facility will be manufactured into new solar glass at the adjacent factory and sold directly back to American solar manufacturers. The company has partnerships with 70 of the nation’s energy companies to recycle and recover value from retired solar panels.
The new recycling facility is scheduled to be operational next year, with the adjacent glass factory operational in 2026.

Is our civilization’s dependence on oil “not going to change?”
Obviously, Big Oil wants to keep the status quo in place, regardless of the environmental damage it’s doing to every living creature on this planet. And the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to make sure this assault against all life forms endures in perpetuity.
But this won’t work. It may be true that the United States is rapidly transforming itself into a dictatorship like Russia, China, North Korea, and the other 50+ sovereign nations on this planet. But the rest of the developed world is working hard to decarbonize its energy and transportation sectors so as to prevent environmental collapse.
Hillsdale “College” writes:Do you suppose, for a minute, that I want some ultra-right-wing “college” to tell me how I should regard the Constitution? What a sick joke.
I don’t want to hear from the John Birch Society, nor the Heartland Institute, nor the KKK, to lecture me on the meaning of the Constitution.
White Nationalists Want to Tell You What the Constitution Means
Jim Meskimen, the fellow quoted at left, is among the brightest and most talented people I’ve ever met, but I take issue with what he says here.
When one’s native country has become beset by a criminal sociopath in the position of leadership, responsible, high-integrity people become politically active, and do anything in their power to remove this cancer before it destroys us.
