Prolonging the Lifetime of Solar PV Through Module Reuse

This session will discuss the development of a market for solar PV reuse in Europe. From decommissioning, testing and preparation of modules for second life, to a successful deployment of reused modules to a new site, there is a wide range of challenges and opportunities.

Building upon lessons learned from the Sustainable Solar report and End-of-Life Best Practice Guidelines published earlier this year, stakeholders from the public sector, industry and academia will discuss the current state of play and the way forward.
