Recyclable Solar Panels Made in the USA with Solarcycle
Episode 129
Monday, 1 December, 2025
In this special holiday episode of Climate Correction Podcast, we welcome Dr. Pablo Ribeiro Dias, co-founder and chief technology officer at SOLARCYCLE, a pioneering, tech-driven recycling company producing sustainable, domestic materials at scale for the solar industry. Dr. Dias is a world-renowned researcher in solar PV module and e-waste recycling technologies. He leads innovation in high-value, low-cost recycling processes that are shaping the future of renewable energy. With dual PhDs from UFRGS (Brazil) and Macquarie University (Australia), and a master's in photovoltaics recycling, Dr. Dias has authored seminal papers, book chapters, and multiple patents that advance the field of photovoltaic recycling. His research and thought leadership have been featured in The Guardian, Cosmos, PV Tech and Solar Power World. In 2023, Business Insider named him among its Climate Action 30, which recognizes thirty global leaders building real climate solutions. As we close the year, Dr. Dias shares insights from his new book, Climate Changed: The Science of Sustainability and How Each of Us Can Do Our Part. The book is a perfect stocking stuffer for the climate-conscious reader. He invites us to reimagine sustainability through systems thinking, circular design and a regenerative mindset that scales solutions without sacrificing justice or humanity. Key Points: Climate change isn't a mystery. It's a systems problem. We can redesign our economic, energy, and material systems to be regenerative rather than extractive. Sustainability = Systems + Scale, leaving nobody out of the equation. True sustainability ensures scalability without exploitation. Circular economy ≠ recycling. It's about reimagining products and industries for repair, reuse, and reintegration. Individual action multiplies change. When people act collectively, through voting, investing, and innovating, the impact compounds. Hope is a discipline, not a mood. The future remains unwritten, and data-driven optimism fuels transformation. What does living sustainably in the 21st century really mean? It's about alignment across energy, agriculture, and materials to build a livable planet for all. Episode Links: pablodias.net SOLARCYCLE LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/solarcycle-inc/
