Our services are mainly focused on end-of-life photovoltaic panels, from their collection, transport and processing, to the recycling of waste through the recovery of valuable raw materials or conversion into energy.

Our collection, transportation and recycling service available on the entire national territory includes: full traceability of operations using the virtual warehouse software, designed to identify and track the photovoltaic modules from the moment of their placing on the market to the time of their operational use.

MANAGEMENT OF WEEE HISTORICAL AND INCENTIVIZED

Specifically, the Consortium provides all documentation that the responsible party is required to send to the GSE, within 6 months after delivery of WEEE, as described in the GSE guidelines:

1. Declaration of the delivery of WEEE arising by the subsidized solar panel duly completed and signed;

2. Copy of waste identification form (FIR);

3. Treatment/recovery certificate issued from the treatment plant;

La Mia Energia scarl offers comprehensive waste management and regulatory compliance related to photovoltaic panels, in particular:

End of life Management: services related to the management of end-of-life photovoltaic modules in compliance with the obligations set by the GSE (4th and 5th Conto Energia) and the new requirements laid down by Legislative Decree 49/14 in implementation of the WEEE directive;

Registration and annual declarations to the AEE register for customers who belong to the Consortium;

Financial guarantee;

SERVICES

Full traceability of operations through a virtual storehouse — an accurate database with the task of tracking the photovoltaic modules from the moment of their placing on the market to the time of their operational use.

Integrated Service collection, recycling and disposal throughout the country.

PRODUCT MONITORING AND TRACEABILITY OF WASTEOur Consortium’s computer systems allow La Mia Energia and its customers to monitor and follow a specific product, from the earliest stages of the sale until the final recovery.

MANAGEMENT OF 4TH AND 5TH “CONTO ENERGIA” PANELS

These systems, developed in the past to offer the widest guarantees to companies and respond to the European principle of “extended producer responsibility”, now also allow significant opportunities for customer contact and loyalty. Furthermore, they allow the constant assessment of the positioning and the conditions of the products.

SERVICES

Thanks to the monitoring of the flows of products placed on the market and activation of the georeferencing programs, La Mia Energia and its partners have set up an efficient on-line platform that guarantees the collection of the panels that have reached the end of their life-cycle. This user-personalized interface provides our customers with the guarantee that, even after several years, their end-of-life panel will be collected without further costs.

For facilities and/or devices with a very long life-cycle La Mia Energia has provided new forms of financial guarantee to assure customers the full coverage of the costs of collection and end-of-life processing.To do this La Mia Energia set up a TRUST, independent from the Consortium’s assets and balance sheet, that expressly links the product ID code or serial number to the financing for end-of-life treatment and ensures the withdrawal of the expired products at the domicile of the holder.

LONG TERM GUARANTEE (TRUST)

TRAININGLa Mia Energia scarl participates proactively to train its customer’s staff on all aspects of the end-of-life management of their products (WEEE, PV modules), providing an additional service that increases customer loyalty.Acquiring these skills enables the companies’ sales departments to be aware of how to make the most of the products/services offered and the consumer to make a conscious choice of the products he will purchase.

FIXED TREATMENT PLANT

La Mia Energia is in charge of the collection of waste from photovoltaic panels (WEEE) and the subsequent transportation to treatment plants, operating through a convayance and treatment network of qualified partners, selected according to criteria of efficiency and environmentally sound performance.

The facility devoted to the recycling of photovoltaic panels, registered to the WEEE CDC in accordance with legislative decree 49/14 and authorized according to art. 214/216 of legislative decree 152/06 by the Province of Frosinone, allows the Consortium to manage the waste directly, with a lower environmental impact and a reduction of costs through the recovery of secondary raw materials. Specifically, the plant owned by our Consortium uses the system of disassembling the photovoltaic panels to allow the recovery of the raw materials they contain. From the treatment the plant retrieves approximately 95% of the raw materials contained in the panel purged from aluminum.

PLANTS

The standard crystalline silicon solar panel usually consists of:

A protective foil on the top exposed to light, characterized by high transparency (the most popular material is toughened glass);

An encapsulation material to avoid direct glass-cell contact, capable of eliminating all gaps due to cell surface imperfections and of electrically isolating the cell from the rest of the panel; in processes that use the rolling phase ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) is often used;

A substrate for posterior support (glass, metal, plastic);

A metal frame (chassis), usually made of aluminum;

PLANTSPV-Mo.Re.De.’s innovation potential was acknowledged and supported by the European Community through the financing of a project for international market penetration, with a non-repayable contribution of over 450,000 euros via the CIP Eco-lnnovation call 2012.La Mia Energia Scarl, Coordinator (Italy), developed the research activities in cooperation with international partners: University of Florence-Department of industrial engineering (Italy); Leitat Technological Center (Spain); Pv Cycle (Belgium).

PV-Mo.Re.De. is a mobile plant for the recycling of disused photovoltaic modules aimed at recovering raw materials (aluminum, glass, copper, active picture materials) and energy (COR-Eva and Tediar), and is able to operate directly in the location where the PV modules are installed, in recycling plants, or in the manufactoring factories.

The mobile system introduces a new technology in the recycling of photovoltaic panels: in place of the currently used thermal-chemical treatment, our device intervenes with an innovative exclusively mechanical process.

The validity and uniqueness of the PV-MO. RE.DE. mobile plant, focused on the preservation and re-use of natural resources, environmental improvement, rational and efficient use of energy and renewable energy implementation, resulted in its selection among the candidates competing for The 2015 World Sustainability Award by Energy Globe Foundation GmbH.
