Testing for reuse Reiling PV-Recycling GmbH & Co. KG

The majority of installed photovoltaic modules are still intact after more than 10 years of use, albeit with significantly reduced performance. Therefore, in the case of economic solar park repowering, for example, the recovery route of reuse is preferable to recycling in order to conserve resources.

Thus, we offer our B2B customers the testing for reuse of their PV modules. After visual inspection of each individual module, undamaged modules are subjected to a comprehensive technical test using various test procedures. The test includes a power measurement (TÜV-certified flasher), an electroluminescence test to detect and evaluate micro-cracks in the solar cells and further tests to ensure electrical safety. Depending on the test results, the modules are then reused as second-life modules or recycled.

We thus offer commercial customers in particular, such as module manufacturers, EPCs and solar park operators of all sizes, a convenient, economical and legally secure disposal solution.
