4 FAQs about Sophia solar Module Project

What is Sophia Project?

New developments and trends in plastics recyclin... The SOPHIA project aims to increase the current reuse, repair and recycling rates of end-of-life solar panels.

How can Sophia improve the health of solar panels?

One of SOPHIA's great contributions is the creation of a prototype that allows analyzing the state of health (SoH) of solar panels Thanks to this system, it's possible to evaluate efficiency, detect dark areas or structural damage, and decide whether the panel should be repaired or recycled.

Who coordinates the Sophia project – implementation of Advanced Digital Solutions?

In this context, AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, coordinates the SOPHIA project – Implementation of Advanced Digital Solutions to increase the circularity of PV panels throughout the entire value chain.

What is the Sophia consortium?

The SOPHIA consortium is composed of 15 entities from nine European countries, including research, industry, and waste management: CIDETEC, Fraunhofer, Wilock, LHV, Sadako, Biosolar, Akumpt, Sisecam, Ferrog, IS, Recyclia, EuRIC, CEPS, and ENCO, coordinated by AIMPLAS from Valencia. The project began in June 2025 and is expected to last 36 months.
