Resilex aims to improve the resilience and sustainability of the entire Silicon value chain in the EU.

RESILEX_img_bg_icon_01

Reducing EU dependence on Silicon imports from third countries

RESILEX_img_bg_icon_02

Developing a new carbon-free and more efficient process for the production of Silicon

RESILEX_img_bg_icon_03

Recycling end-of-use solar PV panels for producing Li-ion battery cells

RESiLEX will reduce the environmental footprint of Solar Panels production

The project will impact on the whole Silicon value chain: starting from developing more efficient photovoltaic solar cells and modules, up to implementing a new circular model, where end-of-life solar panels are recycled and reused
