SEMI-TRAILERS FOR SOLAR PANEL DECOMMISSIONING AND RECOVERY
A solar panel is light but bulky, and if it breaks, it risks releasing cadmium and lead into the environment. The sector is classified as professional WEEE: every step requires care and traceability.
Gervasi Ecologica designs semi-trailers for solar panel transport built for exactly this: high volumetric capacity, a wide opening for manual loading, an integrated crane for large ground-mounted installations. A market set to grow faster than any other in the coming years, and one that needs the right vehicle from day one.
What makes this work challenging
The operational challenges facing those who dismantle, collect and transport end-of-life solar panels.
Fragile, bulky panels
Tempered glass accounts for 75% of a panel’s weight, but the overall weight stays low.
The body fills up in space before it fills up in load.
Risk of breakage and dispersion
A damaged panel can release cadmium and lead into the environment.
The load must stay intact all the way to the recovery facility.
Safe dismantling and loading
Panels are often dismantled and loaded by hand directly on site.
It takes a wide opening and controlled handling.
