Shanghai. 300,000 sqm. The world's entire solar industry in one place. SNEC 2026 was something else. Laid Sahraoui and Toralf Nitsch spent days walking the floors, sitting across from the people who build the panels the world runs on. JinKO celebrating their 20th anniversary. LONGi. Suntech. GCL. Yingli. Astronergy. Rooms full of engineers, founders, procurement heads — all circling the same question: what happens to these panels when they reach end of life. That's where we come in. We pitched CYCLECTRA 2.0 in meeting after meeting. Not as a concept. As a running operation. Licensed capacity in Bulgaria and Germany. Above 95% material recovery. A full data layer that tracks every panel, every material, every step. The reaction was consistent. "We've been waiting for this." Twenty years ago, this industry figured out how to put panels on rooftops at scale. Laid and I were already there — in this sector, watching it grow. Now comes the harder question: what happens next? The volumes are coming. The regulation is coming. The question is who's ready. We are. The conversations we started in Shanghai are already continuing — in Frankfurt at the E-Waste World Expo this week, and next week in Munich at InterSolar, Dutch Pavilion, Stand A3.110. From Shanghai via Frankfurt to Munich. We don't follow the industry — we shape it. 📍 InterSolar Munich · Stand A3.110 · Dutch Pavilion · June 23 🔗 circular.ge4a.com #SNEC2026 #SolarRecycling #Cyclectra #GE4A #CircularEconomy #PVRecycling #Shanghai #Intersolar2026 #CriticalRawMaterials #DigitalCircularEconomy
