With more insight into renewable project performance than before, Installers, project developers, EPCs and owners are contemplating the end-of-life and possibly re-powering considerations for solar, batteries/storage, wind, EV's. Considerations affecting re-powering include PV and battery technologies, relative degradation rates, roof or land composition, O&M of the system, producer responsibilities for end of life management, local ordinances and land-use requirements and interconnection costs. This panel will focus on an interactive discussion of options for re-powering or "end-of-life" management to ensure materials become part of the circular economy, not cradle to grave and get wasted.
