Commercial Solar Panel Recycling Offers Special Rate for Hurricane-Damaged Panels

Relief Services Aim to Alleviate Burden on Communities and Landfills
Special Offer for Solar Panel Damage Recovery
Commercial Solar Panel Recycling (CSPR), based in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, has announced that it will provide special services to collect, transport, and recycle solar panels damaged by recent hurricanes in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. This initiative is aimed at both homeowners and businesses who need to dispose of broken or damaged panels due to extreme weather.

Glenn Laga, co-founder of CSPR, emphasized the importance of helping communities recover from hurricane damage. “We understand the devastating impact of hurricanes on photovoltaic installations, whether they’re installed on homes or large utility-scale farms,” he said. The company’s goal is to reduce landfill waste and support the recovery efforts in these storm-affected regions.

Focus on Sustainable Panel Disposal and End-of-Life Solutions
Sarah Damaskos, managing director of CSPR, added that the recent hurricanes have underscored the need for responsible solar panel disposal. In addition to providing immediate relief, the company aims to contribute to long-term sustainable solutions for the end-of-life management of solar panels. Commercial Solar Panel Recycling plans to discuss these strategies at the SEIA’s RE+ Florida trade show in mid-November.

Expansion of Recycling Facilities and Future Plans
CSPR operates a 35,000-square-foot processing facility in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, and another facility of the same size in Atwater, California. The company is expanding its operations with additional sites in Kentucky, Texas, and Minnesota, where it currently performs triage work on damaged panels.

Laga also announced that in the future, the company plans to process laminated glass, including automobile windshields and moon roofs, with the intention to provide cullet (recycled glass) for use in the solar panel industry, as well as in paint and abrasives manufacturing.

Industry Support and Future Sustainability Goals
As CSPR looks to strengthen the infrastructure for recycling solar panels and other glass products, it also aims to promote a circular economy in the solar industry. This move highlights the increasing need for sustainable recycling solutions as the renewable energy sector continues to grow.
