On-Site Solar Panel Recycling Systems
SolreBorn Reduces the Waste and Cost of Traditional Disposal
Laura McQuarrie — December 4, 2025SolreBorn is a purpose-built, first-of-its-kind, mobile, on-site solar panel recycling system designed to reduce high carbon footprints and cost barriers of traditional panel disposal.
By traveling to solar farms, SolreBorn reduces transportation volume, costs, and emissions by 85%, and enables over 95% recycling rates exceeding regulatory requirements. While some mass panel decommissioning methods are reliant on crushing (and create low-value waste as a result,) SolreBorn offers efficient, profitable, zero-landfill local recycling with a patented glass delamination process that separates intact glass without breakage after de-framing aluminum. Recovered materials are ready to be manufactured into new products.
This Won Kwang S&T system, a Sustainability & Energy Transition 2026 CES Innovation Awards Honoree, is operational in South Korea.
