Biosphere Solar

About

Biosphere Solar is a renewable energy company headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands specializing in Solar.

Biosphere Solar develops and manufactures lamination-free, modular solar photovoltaic panels designed for complete disassembly and material recovery at end-of-life. Founded from a TU Delft spin-off, the company uses liquid-encapsulation and edge-seal technology as alternatives to conventional EVA lamination, reducing manufacturing costs by 80% on encapsulation and eliminating the yellowing degradation inherent in laminated modules. The panels feature a 30-year power warranty, 0.3% yearly degradation rate, and are available in residential, utility-scale, and custom building-integrated configurations. Products are PFAS-free, halogen-free, and use lead-free solder. Biosphere Solar maintains product passports on blockchain technology to trace material origins and ensures supplier compliance with labor standards. The company currently operates production sites with 2.5 GW annual capacity, with significant capacity in China and custom manufacturing capabilities in Europe. Active research projects focus on liquid-encapsulation efficiency improvements, building-integrated photovoltaics, and automated disassembly processes, funded by the European Union and Dutch government.
