SolreBorn: Mobile On-Site Solar Panel Recycling System

Won Kwang S&T Co.,Ltd.
  • 2026 Honoree in Sustainability & Energy Transition
SolreBorn is the first mobile, on-site solar panel recycling system specifically engineered to eliminate the high carbon footprint and cost barriers of traditional panel disposal. Unlike most solutions that rely on total crushing resulting in mixed, low-value output and environmental burden—SolreBorn uses a patented glass delamination process to separate intact glass without breakage after de-framing aluminum. This guarantees high-value and high-purity recovery of materials, ready for manufacturing new products. Solreborn processing at 2.5 tons daily and operates at 35kWh/hour (with at least 17% solar power input), travels directly to solar farms, cutting transportation volume, cost, and emissions by 85%. Won Kwang S&T currently operating solar panel recycling in South Korea with same technology with SolreBorn. SolreBorn enables over 95% recycling rates, far exceeding regulatory standards. By transforming mass panel decommissioning into efficient, profitable, zero-landfill local recycling, SolreBorn sets a new global benchmark in sustainable energy transition and material circularity.
