For years, the solar industry has focused on one thing: deployment. Not to bury the lead, but it’s probably obvious that we (and our competitors) realized that the next big phase of solar is going to be managing the end of life for these modules. We’re part of building an […]

But, as the first generation of large-scale solar projects approaches end-of-life, the industry faces an important question: what happens next? That’s where the concept of the circular economy comes in. What Is a Circular Economy? […]
