Renovo Recycling Technology

Renovo – Transforming Solar Panel Recycling Through Robotics

Renovo is an Italian deep-tech startup developing patented robotic technology to revolutionize the recycling of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) panels.

As the global solar energy industry expands, the growing volume of decommissioned solar panels presents a major environmental and industrial challenge. Renovo addresses this challenge through innovative, modular, and fully automated recycling solutions designed to recover valuable secondary raw materials efficiently and sustainably.

Our technology combines advanced robotics, intelligent automation, and precision disassembly to separate and recover materials such as glass, aluminum, copper, and photovoltaic cells. Our fully electric, chemical-free system targets material recovery rates above 90%, supporting resource efficiency and circular economy principles.

Unlike traditional centralized recycling approaches, Renovo develops decentralized, plug-and-play robotic units that can be deployed directly at industrial recycling facilities. This approach reduces transportation requirements, simplifies integration into existing operations, and enables scalable recycling capacity.

Through our Recycling-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model, Renovo provides recycling operators, waste management companies, and industrial partners with access to advanced recycling technology without requiring substantial upfront capital investments.
