Innovative solar panels that are lighter, more sustainable, and fully circular.
Solarge, a Netherlands-based solar module manufacturer, is introducing circular, sustainable solar panels to the United States market.
Solarge’s patented polymer-based solar technology represents a fundamental shift in photovoltaic design, targeting market segments previously underserved by conventional glass-based panels. The innovative modules weigh 50% less than traditional panels, enabling solar installations on structures unable to support conventional panel weight.
Solarge panels are manufactured using SABIC Trucircle™ biobased and post-consumer recycled polymers, replacing glass and traditional encapsulants with materials that can be fully separated and reused at end-of-life.
Key technological advantages include:
Lightweight: 50% weight reduction enables installation on previously unsuitable rooftops
Fully recyclable because of unique and exclusive use of Sabic TrucircleTM polymer solutions
Durability: Unbreakable construction resistant to hail damage, transportation impacts, and harsh conditions
Low Carbon footprint
No Toxic Materials or PFAS
Marine applications: Suitable for saltwater environments and floating solar installations
Solarge has demonstrated commercial viability through major European installations, including a 4,700-panel deployment at ENGIE’s facility in Genk, Belgium—currently the world’s largest circular solar project. Since commencing high-volume production in June 2023 at its Weert, Netherlands facility, Solarge has delivered projects across Europe. The company is planning US manufacturing expansion to serve the growing North American market.
