RE+ preview: Solar remanufacturer Ontility to open new facility in Tennessee

The aftermarket specialist will exhibit its new plant and services at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada Sep 8-11. It offers decommissioning services, product refurbishment, recycling and remanufacturing services related to solar.

Terrepower, which used to be BBB Industries, an aftermarket manufacturer of sustainable manufacturing, will present its solar-oriented brand Ontility at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Sept. 8 to Sept. 11.

The company buys, refurbishes and mends solar modules inverters, racking and balance of system (BOS) modules. It purchases surplus solar inventory on behalf of end-users, developers and contractors, manufacturers and brokers. Components are acquired through liquidated inventories and other secondary sources as well as cancelled or downsized projects.

Ontility uses a factory-based model to remanufacture solar parts of the aftermarket. The company claimed that it does not just repair and refurbish but that each solar module receives comprehensive diagnostics, a cell-level inspection and component changes to be re-manufactured to the exact specifications of the factory.

The company claimed its refurbishing operation strategy is based on responsible sourcing, effective management of waste, a systematic management of energy consumption and resource conservation.

Terrepower said it has recently finished a 200,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Sparta, Tennessee with the ability to manufacture 300,000 solar modules annually and the potential to increase to more than one million solar panels annually. At full capacity, the operation will divert over 16 million pounds of material out of landfills each year and will be able to put some of the sustainably manufactured solar panels back into the market to serve up to 20,000 homes.

Ontology also provides solar decommissioning services and takes care of safe removal of solar systems, of any size, with disposal or recycling facilities.

During the RE+, visitors are welcome to stop by Ontility at Booth F20615 of the RE+ trade show.

It is, according to Moises Aguirre, vice president and general manager of Ontility a powerful platform to present our solar offering and how TERREPOWER is transforming remanufacturing and the solar industry.
