PVpallet Named One of the Companies Helping the Green Industry Become More Sustainable
In a series about 2023 trends in solar, Solar Power World discussed the companies who are paving the way to bring real sustainability to the solar industry. Solar panel recycling, responsible waste disposal, and front-end waste prevention are all named as key components to greening up the green industry.
[Some] innovators are working on ways to prevent premature solar panel scrapping due to delivery damage. PVpallet began testing its collapsible, plastic pallet in late 2021 and found a 100% success rate with Greentech Renewables delivering panels to Palmetto Solar. Where previously Greentech was reporting 10 broken modules each month, PVpallet’s vertically stacked setup prevented forklift damage and distributed weight during transit, leading to no broken panels. More distributors, including BayWa r.e., have signed on to use PVpallets in warehouses and deliveries. Those reusable pallets also cut down on wooden pallet waste at project sites.
