Resell. Donate. Recycle.
By 2030, the U.S will generate 1 million tons of solar waste.
The solar industry plays a pivotal role in decarbonizing the grid. Yet, in order to sustain the solar sector's growth, it's imperative that we prevent discarded equipment from ending up in landfills. In an effort to promote a more circular solar economy, we have developed this resource to help Raptor Maps customers engage with vendors who facilitate the reliable resale, donation, and recycling of solar equipment.
