Why Recycle PV?
True Sustainability
For solar to be a truly sustainable and clean energy source, the full lifecycle of solar components must be addressed by manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and O&M providers.
Compliance
In areas of the US, like California, PV modules must be handled as hazardous waste at end of life. Improper disposal can lead to groundwater issues.
Revenue Generation
By understanding the costs of recycling and repurposing PV prior to removal, your company can turn PV removal into a revenue generator.

The solar industry cannot claim to be a clean energy source if it leaves a trail of hazardous waste.

A new initiative by Recycle PV Solar seeks to address this problem.
