Tuesday, April 24th 2012, German online meeting at 1600-1730 hrs, (New York: 1000-1130 hrs),
What do toasters, epilators and solar modules have in common?
Not much – one could say – and would have been correct until mid-January 2012.
At that point of time, the European Parliament passed more stringent targets under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations, requiring member states to collect 65 to 85 percent of their e-waste by 2019. Under the new regulations manufacturers will be required to recycle larger items – bringing the solar industry into the loop for the first time.
But not only end-of-live recycling falls under this regulation: Recycling is a topic during construction of PV plants as well, some module technologies are more prone to defects than others, investors should be aware of that.
This online meeting will bring together two German experts. On the one hand Mr. Schimpf, speaking on behalf of Gehrlicher Solar, one of the ten largest independent PV project developers and wholesaler of photovoltaic components, delivering a case study on how to recycle a 10MWp solar plant, how to organize it and describing the legal setting and accruals that accompany a PV plant deconstruction. On the other hand Mrs. Fent, speaking on behalf of SAP, Europe's software powerhouse and its software solutions for the Solar Industry regarding recycling.
- Recycling during construction of PV plants
How much "waste" or recycling material accrues during construction? Which differences exist between different modul technologies? Costs?
- Recycling during deconstruction of PV plants
Detailed calculations for an existing 10MWp photovoltaic plant.
Description on how to deconstruct a PV plant.
Is there a necessity of accruals for investors?
- Discussion on how the EU WEE recast will effect the PV industry
How SAP software can help to meet WEEE`s new challenges.
