Arkansas is starting to use more solar energy to have a mix of energy sources and work towards cleaner energy. Arkansas is seeing good growth in solar, with over 1,030 MW of solar power installed. As solar energy grows in Arkansas, it’s important to plan for what happens when panels reach the end of their life. Arkansas’s way of dealing with solar panel disposal is through general solid waste regulations, encouraging best practices for e-waste management, with no specific PV recycling laws identified. Let's keep Arkansas looking natural and beautiful by promoting responsible solar panel disposal and looking into solar panel recycling as the industry gets bigger. SOLARCYCLE can help you with easy solar panel recycling and understanding the rules in Arkansas. Contact our experts to find out more.
Tailored Recycling Solutions: We recognize that every customer has different needs, systems, financing, and geographic considerations. Our trained professionals begin with a consultation to identify your specific needs and craft a plan to optimize your portfolio. We provide a range of PV and solar panel recycling services including:
Reverse Logistics
Panels are bulky and can be expensive to ship long distances. We mobilize quickly and get your panels off-site within days if needed. Our team of reverse logistics professionals will determine the most efficient route from your facility to our advanced recycling lines in Texas, Arizona and soon the Southeast. We also provide full decommissioning services.
Rapid Testing
We offer on-site as well as off-site testing using our PV Evolutions Lab-approved process to identify microcracks, hot spots, water ingress and more. When requested by our customers, we can find ways to extend the use of panels for another 5-10 years before they are recycled.
Low-Cost, Eco-Friendly Recycling
Our advanced, high-recovery recycling process extracts more than 95% of the value in a panel — returning key materials like aluminum, silver, silicon, and glass to the domestic supply chains. And our ISO-certified facilities are designed to protect workers and the environment, and reduce environmental impacts over time.
Advanced Environmental Reporting
Our customers care about protecting the environment and have stakeholders who want to see the metrics and the impact. Our Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Pablo Dias, leads the development of our recycling process, and oversees our use of Life Cycle Analysis to produce science-based environmental reporting for your team.
