New York is a national leader in clean energy and the use of photovoltaic (PV) solar. SEIA reports that New York state has installed over 6,600 megawatts (MW) of solar, with community solar projects driving much of the state’s capacity. New York has set ambitious climate goals, including a mandate for 70% renewable energy by 2030, and is actively working to ensure that solar development is sustainable. Notably, Niagara County's Local Law 4 has created strict requirements for manufacturers of solar panels and for project developers — we’ve been working in Niagara County for several years and can help ensure that your project is compliant with the county’s requirements. New York is considering additional regulations to require the recycling of solar PV systems so contact our experts for the latest information on the state. If you need help recycling solar in New York, get in touch — we can help recycling your decommissioned solar panels and plan for the future.
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.
