On 23-26 January the CIRCUSOL project consortium is coming together to discuss progress on the circular solar business model demonstrators and next steps to explore second-life use of solar PV and batteries.
Demonstrator-leaders have been busy co-creating new circular value propositions across Europe. New ideas are emerging of propositions that are attractive to the customer, the environment and businesses involved.
Invited external experts including Stefan Wippich, founder of SecondSol, and Dr. Karsten Wambach, president of PVCYCLE, are are discussing opportunities and challenges associated with second life solar PV panels in practice, together with the consortium partners.
