A study by ASU researchers and SOLARCYCLE shows solar energy panels made from recycled glass perform as well as those made from other new materials, a discovery  expected to boost the solar energy industry. The work involved Fulton Schools researchers testing solar panel prototypes made from both new and recycled glass. Fulton Schools Vice Dean for Research and Innovation Zachary Holman says the project demonstrates that solar energy panels can be built in ways that make them more sustainable without a sacrifice of a loss in the overall energy-generating performance of the panels. That development is seen as providing a big step to a promising future for renewable energy opportunities.
