PV in Circular
Economy Tool
PV ICE
Materials and Systems Flow Concept (Mass Flow)
Energy
+ Carbon (Dev)
Yearly New Installs
Degradation
System-dynamics, geospatial,
open-source model that
evaluates the material, energy
and carbon viability of the PV
manufacturing, deployment,
reuse, and recycling industries
across the Energy Transition,
allowing exploration of supply
chains with varying degrees
and types of circularities.
