Renu Robotics is automating operations and maintenance for the solar industry. We develop all-electric autonomous vehicles for vegetation management for utility-scale solar power plants and other energy facilities.

149.6 million KM away from Earth, the Sun provides us with an infinite source of energy to drive the advancement of technology for our generation and beyond. As a leading manufacturer of solar cells, a primary component in PV modules (solar panels), we pride ourselves as the pioneer in the field of solar technology. This industry has been growing rapidly as the demand for renewable energy has been increasing throughout the years. In our quest to expand, we would like to welcome you to join our team of professionals and technical experts from a diverse range of fields. Let’s make the world a better place by powering a greener future.

Recycling silicone from solar cell production in combination with aluminum - using 90% less energy at 40-50% lower cost than conventional alternatives Solar power plays an essential part in the global transition to renewable energy. However, solar wafer production faces a significant material efficiency problem: with current methods, only approximately 60% of the high purity silicone used in the manufacturing process go into the actual end product. The remainder is typically deposited at landfills or remelted into a low-grade product using energy-intensive methods. New and more efficient methods reducing this material efficiency gap is essential to reduce the footprint of solar cell production and push the industry towards a circular production model. Nuvosil’s Low Energy Recycling (LER) process recycles surplus silicon materials from solar wafer manufacturing. The process results in the Low Energy Master alloy, made with exclusively from recycled materials. The alloy consist of 70% silicon / 30% aluminum, and the silicon component is used in aluminium manufacturing as a replacement for conventional metallurgical silicon (MG-Si). The LER process has been developed as a collaborative effort between Nuvosil and leading aluminium manufacturer Hydro ASA, the German thermoplastic manufacturer Reifenhauser GmbH, and Austrian wet grinding technology specialist CEMTEC GmbH. Additionally, SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have been involved as R&D partners throughout the development process. The Low Energy Recycling process is significantly more efficient than existing recycling methods, using 90% less energy and, as a result, saving between 40 and 50% in processing cost.
