TERREPOWER unveils PV panel recycling line in Tennessee

TERREPOWER, BBB Industries’ solar division, has introduced a solar panel recycling line at its Sparta, Tennessee facility. Using its automated recycling machine, TERREPOWER aims to efficiently separate aluminum, glass, precious metals, silicon, plastic, and components for reuse. The new facility can process up to 160,000 panels annually, covering both monocrystalline and polycrystalline types. In the past year, TERREPOWER recycled over 2,000,000 lbs. (about 907,184 kg) of solar panels, equivalent to about 40,000 panels, through partnerships. With in-house recycling, it aims to recycle 8,000,000 lbs. (about 3,628,736 kg) annually. The company is also planning to collaborate with partners to repurpose materials like glass for construction and aluminum locally.
