Solar PV is the key technology to enable the energy transition and it has already become the dominant energy technology for new capacity installed in the world. The expected growth in the next years and decades is huge, but this growth needs to be accompanied by the implementation of sustainability measures at all steps of the PV value chain, from manufacturing, to transport, installation, operation and decommissioning. An efficient use of resources and the implementation of circular economy measures are crucial to ensure that PV can grow at the expected levels, enabling a truly sustainable energy system.

SOLKEYS offers consultancy services related to sustainability of PV modules, in particular, related to analysis of carbon footprint, sustainable manufacturing, and design for recycling.
