Historical data on EOL PV modules and components, e.g., technology type, count and weight, cause of end of life, timing, equipment condition, handling methods, dispositioning (reuse, recycle, landfill)
Learn More
When solar projects reach the end of their expected performance period, there are several management options. They include extending the performance period through reuse, refurbishment, or repowering

Yet PV has not been designed with recycling at EOL in mind, and it presents challenges to returning embodied raw materials back to use in new products through recycling.
Learn More
Solar module recycling has to date been delineated into three phases: disassembly, delamination, and extraction.
Learn More
A survey of current and forthcoming legislation and standards concerning the end-of-life for PV modules was carried out for the US and leading federal states (e.g., California, Washington, New York, New
