Renovo – Revolutionizing Solar Panel Recycling Through Robotics

Renovo is an Italian deep-tech startup developing patented robotic technology to transform end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) panels into valuable secondary raw materials.

As solar energy adoption accelerates worldwide, millions of photovoltaic panels will reach the end of their operational life, creating a growing environmental and industrial challenge. Renovo addresses this challenge through modular, automated, and decentralized recycling solutions designed to make solar panel recycling more efficient, scalable, and economically sustainable.

Our innovative technology integrates advanced robotics, automation, and intelligent disassembly processes to recover valuable materials, including glass, aluminum, copper, and photovoltaic cells. The system is fully electric, operates without chemical treatments, and targets material recovery rates above 90%.

Renovo's plug-and-play robotic units can be deployed directly at recycling facilities, reducing transportation requirements and enabling local processing of photovoltaic waste.

Through our Recycling-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model, we provide recycling operators and industrial partners with access to advanced recycling technology without substantial upfront equipment investments.

Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in mechanical engineering, robotics, industrial automation, sustainability, and business development to accelerate the commercialization of innovative circular economy solutions.

Renovo aims to establish a new standard for photovoltaic recycling infrastructure, supporting European circular economy objectives, critical raw material recovery, and the development of a more resilient and sustainable solar energy value chain.

Our mission: Transform solar panel waste into valuable resources through intelligent robotic recycling.
