Decom Solar decommissions rooftop solar project influenced by Hurricane Ian

• Decom Solar, a solar deactivating solution, has set in motion in Cape Coral, Florida, to sustain a large box retail client with its Hurricane Ian clean-up efforts.

A sizable portion of a two-year-old 889.2 kW system and the roofing were damaged by the Category 4 storm. Decom Solar is examining all equipment to determine what can be recycled and what should be correctly reused. All equipment in working problem will then be gotten rid of as well as stored for the repair work to happen. All harmed modules will be recycled with a SEIA-certified recycler and all harmed racking, inverters and balance-of-system equipment will certainly be refined with regional recyclers.

"When people check out solar decommissioning, they often assume that the equipment is being removed and tossed out. We are concentrated on making certain that all working equipment continues to be in operation. We are committed to maintaining solar modules out of landfills, regardless of the reason they need to be removed," stated Stephen Burns, co-founder of Decom Solar.

By maintaining this working equipment in operation, it is approximated to offset adequate power to power 125 homes each year or protect 6.7 acres of U.S. forests in one year. Decom Solar is partnered with One Tree Planted, a 501(c)( 3) nonprofit committed to international reforestation, and for this project will contribute 2,340 trees to be planted on its customer's behalf.
