I am an independent specialist focused on end-of-life management of solar panels (PV modules) in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
My work combines three areas:
technical understanding of how solar panels degrade and can be processed
operational knowledge of collection, sorting, and handling
economic analysis of reuse, recovery, and recycling
Most companies approach old solar panels as waste.
I approach them differently:
First — as assets that may still hold value.
Only then — as materials to be recovered.
I help companies make practical decisions, not theoretical ones:
what can be reused
what should be recovered
what must be recycled
My approach is based on real constraints:
cost of logistics
actual condition of panels
available secondary markets
limitations of current recycling technologies
This is not about “perfect recycling”.
It is about making the best possible decision with real-world conditions.
