Solarcycle last week announced the technology-based solar-panel recycling company will open a 5-gigawatt recycling center in Cedartown, Georgia.
The 255,000-square-foot facility will be directly served by Norfolk Southern Railway, according to an email from an NS spokeswoman.
The recycling plant will sit across from the site where Solarcycle will soon begin construction on a solar glass factory at its Cedartown Georgia campus, creating 1,250 jobs and investing more than $400 million, company officials said in a press release.
The facility will have the capacity to recycle and recover materials from 10 million solar panels per year, enough to process an estimated 25% to 30% of the nation's retired solar panels in 2030, according to the company.
Initially, the facility will recycle 2 million solar panels per year and scale as the company meets growing market demand for end-of-life solar services and domestic solar supply.
