The goal is to ensure safe and efficient handling of end-of-life solar panels while supporting circular economy practices in the renewable energy sector. In addition, Soso Smart Eco-Company, a new venture established with investment from eight companies including DOWA ECO-SYSTEM, plays a key role in evaluating the potential for module reuse. The company inspects used PV modules sourced through multiple procurement channels to determine their suitability for reuse in power generation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through this demonstration
