JinkoSolar helps create first PV recycling network in the U.S.

 “JinkoSolar has always been keen to ensure that its PV modules are clean and eco-friendly from cradle to grave,” said Nigel Cockroft, General Manager of JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc.

JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China) on September 26th, 2016 announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc., in partnership with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and a coalition of other solar photovoltaic (PV) companies, has successfully launched the first PV recycling program in the United States, which includes a network of cost-effective recyclers that can responsibly dispose of decommissioned PV modules.
While JinkoSolar modules are expected to last at least 25 years, PV system owners now have dedicated resources to help aid in responsible disposal of modules once they reach the end of their life cycle.
JinkoSolar PV modules recently passed toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) tests. Products that do not leach toxic materials at levels exceeding regulatory limits are termed TCLP compliant. TCLP compliant JinkoSolar PV modules will give system owners more time and flexibility to dispose of the modules.
“By passing TCLP tests and helping start this recycling framework, JinkoSolar has shown that it is a true leader in environmental responsibility,” said Nigel Cockroft, General Manager of JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc.
