Millions of tons of wood waste are either burned, ground in wood chippers, or thrown into landfills each year. Ironically, a significant amount of that wood waste comes from the pallets the solar industry has thrown out. We have a problem.

PVpallet is more than just a new idea; it brings a much-needed solution to shipping solar PV modules that is both sustainable and cost effective. Watch the video to learn more about Luke’s background and the “why” behind PVpallet.

PVpallet, Inc. is excited to announce our partnership with MSI Mold Builders for the fabrication of our PVpallet injection molds, with an expected completion date of August 2021.

PVPallet, a trailblazer in sustainable packaging solutions for the solar industry, has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the DOE SETO Office. This grant aims to transform the shipping, handling, and storage of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules by developing reusable and recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pallets.

This month PV Magazine posed the question: when does bigger simply becomes too big? PV Pallet co-founder Luke Phelps contributed to the conversation, noting the shipping and logistics limitations with larger modules.

At PVpallet, we understand that it takes out-of-the-box thinking to bring fresh perspectives to an industry. We knew we needed a full-scale prototype to perfect our design. Here’s how it came together.

PVpallet is proud and humbled to announce that we have been selected for a $500,000 grant by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office!

PVpallet claims to improve efficiencies and reduce costs across the solar supply chain — from manufacturing, distribution, and installation to storage and waste disposal.

PVpallet announced it will be producing the first-to-market renewable, collapsible, sturdy, pallet system for solar modules.
