The company says it will now ramp up its production platform to meet increasingly higher customer volume demands.As the installed base of solar panels approach the end of their operating lives, the volume of end-of-life panels requiring responsible processing is projected to grow sharply, far outpacing the industry’s current capacity.With Silver Springs operating continuously and additional storage capacity in place at its facilities in Hanford, California, and Cambridge, Ohio, Comstock says it believes it is one of the few true domestic recyclers positioned to absorb the anticipated flow of end-of-life panels at the volumes utility-scale generators will require, without compromising the zero-landfill and chain-of-custody standards that customers depend on.“The successful transition to continuous processing represents the most meaningful operational milestone to date for our expanding recycling platform,” Comstock Inc. CEO Corrado De Gasperis says. “We have methodically developed, deployed, tested and are now continuously operating. We believe the technical implementation hurdles and uncertainties related to the first-time scaled deployment of our proprietary Solar Panel Recycling Production system have now been overcome. With demonstrable continuous production, our focus now turns to volume ramp.”</div></body>
