*End-of-Life Solar Panels: *

*Navigating the First Wave*

*August 21st | 1:30 - 3:00 PM ET*
As the first major wave of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations in the
U.S. reaches the end of its 25-year lifecycle, a new and pressing challenge
is emerging: what happens to all the retired panels? Coupled with recent
trade tariffs and increasing domestic manufacturing, the U.S. solar sector
faces a critical inflection point.

Without effective recycling infrastructure, mounting PV waste could
undermine the industry's environmental credibility and create costly
liabilities. This *free webinar* will bring together industry experts to
unpack the implications of this issue and outline a path forward to ensure
that solar power remains not just clean — but truly sustainable.
