End-of-Life Solar Panels: Navigating the First Wave
Date & Time: August 21st, 2025 | 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM ET
As the first major wave of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in the U.S. reaches the end of its 25-year lifecycle, a new and pressing challenge is emerging: what happens to all the retired panels? Coupled with recent trade tariffs and increasing domestic manufacturing, the U.S. solar sector faces a critical inflection point. Without effective recycling infrastructure, mounting PV waste could undermine the industry's environmental credibility and create costly liabilities.
Join us for a timely and essential conversation exploring:
- The scale and timing of the coming PV waste wave
- Policy gaps and opportunities at the federal and state levels
- Emerging recycling technologies and material recovery options
- Market and economic drivers shaping end-of-life (EOL) solutions
- What manufacturers, developers, and policymakers must do now to build a circular solar economy
This webinar will bring together industry experts to unpack the implications of this issue and outline a path forward to ensure that solar power remains not just clean — but truly sustainable.
