Investment categories

Climate & clean tech

  • Hello Again Solar delivers the only high-recovery, chemical-free recycling technology that is profitable, even at small scale. Its patented laser process cleanly separates glass, silicon, silver, and copper from all panel types. Compared to cost-competitive alternatives at >100MW/year, it achieves the same recovery and economics with 10x lower emissions. Revenue comes from processing fees, material resale, and global tech licensing, providing a scalable, ESG-aligned solution for utility-scale farms, councils, and recyclers worldwide.
    • 2 million solar panels are retired every year
    • Existing recycling technologies are expensive, polluting, or only profitable at >100MW/year – leaving solar asset owners, councils, and recyclers with no viable local solution except for landfill. This presents a significant challenge as regulatory pressure and ESG commitments intensify.
    • Utility-scale solar owners and developers in Australia
    • Global waste companies seeking profitable, traceable, and sustainable solar panel recycling technology
    • Contract with one utility-scale solar company
    • Six recyclers interested in licensing or co-investment
    • Grant application in progress to build a pilot in Sydney
