The time to prepare for the coming wave of decommissioned solar panels is now. [Skip to the Webinar Recording...](https://resources.energybin.com/solar-resources/webinar-solar-panel-remanufacturing-explained#W1) Myth: Solar panels are ready to recycle when they are decommissioned. Fact: Decommissioned solar panels may or may not be at end-of-life. Thorough inspection and testing help determine whether a panel should be reused, remanufactured, or recycled. Remanufacturing, supported by an extended warranty, can maximize a panel’s useful life while reducing waste and recovering value. In this webinar, EnergyBin is joined by Ruben Saavedra and Peter Hutchings from TERREPOWER, a sustainable manufacturer with roots dating back to 1987. Formerly known in the solar industry as Ontility, the refreshed TERREPOWER brand brings decades of remanufacturing experience and solar expertise together under one global brand. **In this webinar, you will learn:** - The PV Lifecycle market today and where it is headed - Remanufacturing, from inspection and testing to repairs and remarketing - Why it matters, explained through a real-life case study Watch on demand:     Duration: 28:27 minutes **Speakers:** ![Ruben Saavedra avatar 160x160](https://resources.energybin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ruben%20Saavedra%20avatar%20160x160.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=Ruben%20Saavedra%20avatar%20160x160.jpg)**Ruben Saavedra** Vice President & General Manager, Solar TERREPOWER   Ruben Saavedra serves as Vice President and General Manager, Solar at TERREPOWER, where he leads the company's solar lifecycle solutions business, including asset recovery, remanufacturing, recycling, and secondary market initiatives.
