As the first major wave of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in the U.S. reaches the end of its 25-year lifecycle, a new and pressing challenge is emerging: what happens to all the retired panels?
Join us on August 21, 13:30–15:00 (ET) for a free webinar hosted by the Northeast Recycling Council, where our speakers Pallavi Madakasira and John Carhart will join experts from Good Point Recycling, and Commercial Solar Panel Recycling to examine this challenge and the solutions.
While solar energy is vital to the clean energy transition, end-of-life PV modules and installation components require responsible management. Without effective recycling systems, mounting PV waste could undermine the industry’s environmental credibility and create costly liabilities.
This webinar will explore:
- The scale and timing of the coming PV waste wave
- Policy gaps and opportunities at the federal and state levels
- Emerging recycling technologies and material recovery options
- Market and economic drivers shaping end-of-life (EOL) solutions
- What manufacturers, developers, and policymakers must do now to build a circular solar economy
Who Should Attend:
- Solar manufacturers and developers
- Recyclers
- Sustainability professionals
- Policymakers
- Waste and materials experts
- And anyone else focused on clean energy infrastructure.
