Lost & Found
🎓☀️ I’m conducting an academic research on what happens to solar equipment when it reaches the end of its life and I need your help I’m currently doing my Honours research on what happens to solar panels, batteries and inverters when they are replaced, stop working or reach the end of their useful life in South Africa. As more homes and businesses move towards solar, I think we also need to start asking an important question: what happens to all this equipment afterwards? Does it get stored, reused, sold, thrown away or recycled? Do homeowners know what to do with it? What are installers currently doing with old equipment? And what makes responsible disposal difficult? That’s what I’m trying to understand through this research, not just what is supposed to happen, but what is actually happening in practice. I’m also making enquiries with the City of Cape Town to understand whether there are currently any programmes, initiatives or plans addressing solar equipment and solar waste. The responses from this study will be very useful in helping me understand the situation from the perspective of people who are actually dealing with solar equipment. 🏠 Solar homeowner?

I genuinely want your honest experiences and views. 🎓 The information will be used for my academic research only. I know everyone is busy, so even taking a few minutes to participate would mean a lot to me. Your experience is something I cannot get from a textbook or policy document. Every response helps me build a better picture of what is actually happening on the ground and what could potentially be improved. Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to participate or share this post. ❤️
