CALSSA Webinar: New Regulations for Retiring Modules

Webinar: New Regulations for Retiring Modules

How to comply with California’s new rules for handling broken and decommissioned PV modules.


Solar contractors, distributors and manufacturers will soon need to comply with new regulations for handling decommissioned, inoperable, or damaged PV modules or face thousands of dollars in fines.
Join CALSSA's webinar so you can be prepared for these new rules that go into effect on January 1. Whether you are a contractor, distributor, or manufacturer, you will need to register with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and follow these new rules for transporting, storing, recycling, and disposing modules at the end of their life to avoid fines. So tune in and get ready!

The webinar will review:

  • Registration requirements

  • Reporting requirements

  • Rules for handling, transporting, and storing modules

  • Recycling opportunities

  • Second life opportunities

  • Lay of the land overview of end-of-life modules

Presenters include:

  • Chosu Khin, Senior Scientist at the DTSC, who was the lead architect of the regulations

  • Garvin Heath, Senior Scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, who tracks the scope of PV waste

  • Dwight Clark, We Recycle Solar

  • Sam Vanderhoof, Recycle PV Solar

  • Cesar Barbosa, NuLife Power
