PV waste management under European WEEE legislation

Following the publication of the latest revision of the EU waste legislation, Producers of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have become responsible for the disposal and recycling of the modules they sell in a or more EU Member States.

This website aims at explaining the legal implications of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) for the photovoltaic sector, offering a wealth of information and resources for everyone interested in the disposal and recycling of photovoltaic modules in the European Union.
Please be aware that WEEE does not cover the disposal and recycling of solar thermal panels and hence the topic is not covered on this website.
The disposal and recycling of solar inverters from photovoltaic installations is also not covered here.
