Pre-Investment Decision Support – Solar Module Recycling

Free E-Course: Solar Recycling Factory

Welcome to the Course

Solar recycling is becoming an important topic worldwide. Many solar power plants were built more than ten years ago. Over time, damaged or outdated modules must be replaced. This creates a growing need for recycling infrastructure.

This course is designed for business professionals and institutions. You may come from waste management, industrial services, utilities, or public organizations. You may have limited technical knowledge about solar modules. This course starts from that point.

Short Transparency Note

This welcome video is recorded personally by us. Some of the following course videos are produced with AI assistance for efficiency. However, all concepts, explanations, and technical content are created, structured, and reviewed by us. AI is used only as a production tool — not as a source of knowledge or expertise.

Scope: Industrial Scale

When we speak about a solar recycling factory, we do not mean small manual dismantling operations. We also do not mean experimental laboratory processes.

This course focuses on industrial recycling plants with defined input volumes and processes.

The Goal: Realistic Orientation

Solar recycling is often misunderstood. It is not a fast-profit business. It depends strongly on regulation, volume, logistics, and long-term planning. This course explains these realities.

What It Explains

It explains plant size, throughput, investment ranges, and operational requirements. It also explains why scale and policy support are often more important than technology alone.

What It Does Not Promise

This course does not promise high margins or quick returns. It does not provide detailed chemical processes or plant designs. Instead, it explains how decision-makers evaluate such projects in practice.

Course Structure

The structure of the course follows a clear logic:

  • Size: We first explain typical starting sizes.
  • Investment: Then we explain investment ranges for different plant capacities.
  • Financing: Finally, we explain financing logic and long-term risks.

Patrick Thoma

I have been making business plans since 2003. In 2006, together with my father and one investor, I started a solar module production line in Europe.

I have been a shareholder of this company for more than 10 years. From 2005-2009, I was the CEO of this company and involved in all production processes. My goal is to help other entrepreneurs start their own local production in their country.
