Reusable Solar Photovoltaic Module Pallet (PVpallet)

closed

This project is developing a unique, recyclable solar module pallet used in the shipping process. The invention, known as PVpallet, will drastically reduce waste, protect solar module integrity and quality during transportation and distribution, increase warehouse storage capacity, and increase installation efficiency in the field. PVpallet would be a replacement for the traditional, single-use wood pallets. In the U.S. market alone, millions of wood pallets are being disposed of in landfills annually. This work will help to achieve a levelized cost of electricity of $0.03 per kilowatt-hour for solar energy.
