Delivering Tax Benefits and Supporting Community Access to
Renewable Energy
YUMA,
Ariz., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on
the momentum of their recent successful Earth Day initiative, We
Recycle Solar announced the evolution of its partnership with
Renewables.org. The expanded collaboration introduces a major
opportunity for commercial and utility-scale solar developers, as
well as Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and manufacturers, to
make tax-deductible donations of surplus, residual, and used solar
panels.
"This is far more than just a recycling program – we're
actually clearing pathways for meaningful community impact and
substantial financial benefits," said AJ Orben, Vice President
of We Recycle Solar. "By partnering with Renewables.org, we enable
our clients to leverage their unused assets in a manner that's both
eco-conscious and economically advantageous – striking that perfect
balance companies need to jumpstart their own eco-friendly
commitments."
Renewables.org offers real investment opportunities in solar
energy projects across India and
Africa, allowing investors to
provide zero-interest loans that aid the expansion of solar power –
especially in regions critically impacted by CO2 emissions and
hindered by limited access to affordable financing. Creating a
powerful carbon impact that investors can see, while ensuring they
also receive monthly repayments over a five-year period.
Many investments are directed towards solar developers in the
Global South, aiming to accelerate solar adoption in areas where
environmental challenges are most acute. Other key benefits of
recycling with Renewables.org and We Recycle Solar include:
- Tax-Deductible Donations: Clients can now donate surplus solar
panels, enjoying maximum tax savings from a certified 501(c)(3)
organization.
- Supporting Underserved Communities: Donations aid in deploying
renewable energy resources in predominantly disadvantaged areas,
amplifying the impact of each contribution.
- Environmental and Social Returns: Contributions go beyond
financial benefits, helping to prevent further carbon emissions and
reduce reliance on coal-based power grids.
The initiative supports We Recycle Solar's broader mission for
the lifecycle management of solar assets, with many overarching
benefits including:
Environmental Conservation:
- Reduces landfill waste and prevents the release of hazardous
materials.
- Recovers valuable materials for reuse.
- Lowers the demand for new raw materials, reducing environmental
degradation from resource extraction.
- Promotes sustainable practices and ensures compliance with
evolving environmental regulations.
Major Economic Benefits:
- Enhances cost efficiency by reducing manufacturing costs
through material reuse.
- Creates new jobs in recycling, transportation, and
industry-related sectors.
- Supports the growth of the solar industry by ensuring material
availability and affordability.
Important Social Impacts:
- Engages communities through educational initiatives about
sustainability.
- Lowers cost barriers, increasing access to solar technology in
underserved communities.
Enduring Climate Action:
- Reduces the carbon footprint associated with new material
production.
- Bolsters the transition to renewable energy, supporting global
climate change efforts.
"Each donation through our shared program has the potential to
generate five times the impact per dollar compared to other U.S.
solar developments," explained Lassor
Feasley, CEO of Renewables.org. "Our clients see a return on
their investment through tax savings and also play a crucial part
to empower energy independence in underserved communities. It's a
win-win for all of us."
