Sophia solar Modules

4 FAQs about Sophia solar Modules

What is Sophia?

Sophia is a European Union-funded Horizon Europe project that aims to implement advanced digital solutions in end-of-life solar panels, involving the full value chain to increase their current reuse, repair and recycling rates.

What is the Sophia Project?

Aimplas, the Plastics Technology Centre, a Spain-based technological center that provides solutions to the plastics industry, is coordinating the Sophia project, which is aimed at the implementation of advanced digital solutions to increase the circularity of photovoltaic (PV) panels throughout the value chain.

How can Sophia improve the health of solar panels?

One of SOPHIA's great contributions is the creation of a prototype that allows analyzing the state of health (SoH) of solar panels Thanks to this system, it's possible to evaluate efficiency, detect dark areas or structural damage, and decide whether the panel should be repaired or recycled.

What is the Sophia consortium?

The SOPHIA consortium is composed of 15 entities from nine European countries, including research, industry, and waste management: CIDETEC, Fraunhofer, Wilock, LHV, Sadako, Biosolar, Akumpt, Sisecam, Ferrog, IS, Recyclia, EuRIC, CEPS, and ENCO, coordinated by AIMPLAS from Valencia. The project began in June 2025 and is expected to last 36 months.
