PVREfaCE started its scientific research with the project “Recycling of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Panels via Life Cycle Analysis” supported by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye in the second term of 2021, within the scope of the "1001- The Scientific and Technological Research Projects Funding Program".

PVREfaCE is the first project team established in Turkey to research the recycling of photovoltaic modules. The project is carried out in cooperation with expert academics working at Ege University Solar Energy Institute, İzmir Institute of Technology, and İzmir Democracy University. The project also has a dynamic and young working environment with undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students.
