Utility-scale and C&I solar and storage systems are reaching the end of their first life, and current decommissioning practices are insufficient to manage this massive influx of assets profitably. The market now demands rigorous economic systems thinking. As new waste policies take effect, the critical factor in protecting long-term project yield is ensuring high-purity material recovery across PV, BESS, and BOS. Doing so goes beyond simple compliance and will directly secure more favorable insurance and refinancing terms.
Taking place in Amsterdam, the Recycling Solar & BESS Summit moves the conversation from theory to industrial execution. Co-organized by Solarplaza and PV Cycle, this summit connects infrastructure funds, asset managers, and high-tech recyclers to mitigate risk, optimize repowering, and turn end-of-life liabilities into a strategic commercial advantage.
