PV Resilience
PV Resilience
We make solar energy circular!
PV RESILIENCE brings local solar panels that are circular, sustainable and beautifully integrated into the environment.
The Interreg project PV RESILIENCE is co-financed by the European Union. This project gives a boost to circular and sustainable PV innovations in the border region. Together, the 11 project partners are developing methods and processes related to dismantling, repair, upgrading, reuse and increased sustainability. By bringing together knowledge about circular materials and the integration of solar products, among other things, a true European chain for sustainable solar energy can be created.
The project develops, tests and demonstrates circular innovations:
The knowledge gained from this leads to the final demo, “Ultra-circular panels”, constructed from parts of the dismantled encapsulant-free solar panels. In this way, we close the chain and go all out for circularity.
In addition, the partners are examining how these products can be produced, maintained and reused in a circular manner. Everything is also being tested and demonstrated in practice, including in social housing and research areas. This allows interested parties to become acquainted with these innovations.
Project duration: 01/08/2025 - 31/07/2028
Project coordinator: TNO
Project partners: Kamp C, Biosphere Solar, BouwhulpGroep, imec, Paneltim, Roartis, Soluxa, Stichting Zuyd Hogeschool, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven en Universiteit Hasselt
Granted subsidy Interreg: € 2.056.743,27 (50%)
Theme: “Een groener Europa. Klimaat, milieu en natuur”.

The project develops, tests and demonstrates circular innovations:
- Flexible solar panels integrated into roof elements and polymer panels
- Encapsulant-free, modular solar panels that are easy to disassemble and reuse (on a pilot scale)
- Aesthetic façade panels with colour and pattern variation, with minimal loss of efficiency
