We’re thrilled to announce that Solar Materials has been named the KfW Award Gründen 2024 Landessieger for Sachsen-Anhalt! This prestigious accolade highlights our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial excellence in creating a circular economy for the solar industry.

The KfW Award Gründen recognizes outstanding start-ups across Germany that are shaping the future with innovative business models and sustainable practices.

Winning the Landessieg Sachsen-Anhalt is a testament to Solar Materials’ pioneering work in transforming solar panel recycling and contributing to a sustainable future.

At Solar Materials, we’re driven by a clear mission: to close the loop in the solar industry. By developing advanced recycling technologies, we ensure that end-of-life solar panels don’t become waste but instead are valuable resources for the next generation of clean energy solutions.

Our proprietary recycling process:

• Recovers 98% of raw materials from used solar panels.
• Reduces the carbon footprint of these materials by 80% compared to primary resources.
• Promotes a truly sustainable lifecycle for solar energy.

This approach not only supports environmental goals but also strengthens the economic viability of renewable energy by reducing dependency on virgin resources.

The KfW Award Gründen shines a spotlight on the importance of innovation and sustainability in building a better future. For Solar Materials, winning this award in Sachsen-Anhalt reflects the hard work and passion of our team, as well as the support of the local community and industry.
