Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Solar Panel Recycling
SolarPanelRecycling.com (SPR) has entered into a strategic partnership with STG Solar, a top-rated solar contractor and operations & maintenance (O&M) company based in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina. Under this agreement, SPR will provide recycling services for STG Solar’s projects throughout their lifecycle, including construction, operations, and repowering of existing systems, which together represent a total of 1.9 gigawatts of solar power. The partnership is designed to establish a seamless and efficient recycling process, ensuring that solar panels are handled responsibly and sustainably at every stage of their life.
Commitment to Sustainability and Advanced Recycling Technologies
SPR was selected by STG Solar because of its proven ability to meet rigorous sustainability standards and its advanced recycling technology. SPR’s proprietary methods recover up to 95% of valuable materials from end-of-life solar panels, including silver, silicon, copper, aluminum, and glass. These materials are reintegrated into the local supply chain, contributing to a circular economy in the solar industry. The company’s compliance with Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) standards, as well as its use of rapid material testing and tracking systems, ensures that panels are recycled efficiently and sustainably, minimizing landfill waste.
Promoting Circularity and Environmental Stewardship
STG Solar’s President and CEO, Mike Kilpatrick, emphasized that the partnership aligns with the company’s core values of responsible environmental stewardship. By prioritizing recycling over landfilling, this collaboration not only supports STG Solar’s environmental goals but also enhances supply chain resilience and expands job opportunities in the clean energy sector. The partnership is a step forward in promoting circularity within the solar industry, reducing waste, and maximizing the reuse of materials in future solar installations.
Nationwide Recycling Reach and Job Creation
SPR, with established recycling facilities in Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, will provide customized services for STG Solar across a broad geographic area. This nationwide reach enables the efficient recycling of solar panels, further supporting the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the solar industry. Additionally, this partnership helps to anticipate and comply with future regulations around solar panel disposal, setting a high industry standard for responsible recycling and contributing to the preservation of the environment for future generations.
