  2. Methodology • Population All (54) module manufacturers with at least one UL certified module as of March 30, 2009 • Tool Interview schedule pilot tested and finalized, content based on “Study on the Development of a Take Back Recovery System for Photovoltaic Products,” BMU, EPIA, and BSW-Solar, November 2007 • Contact Top management initial contact and follow-up via telephone and e-mail from April 1, 2009 to June 4, 2009

  3. Response Of the 54 manufacturers 42 were contacted, 9 being contacted, no answer at 2, and 1 duplicate Of the 42 manufacturers contacted, 29 completed the interview, 5 pending, and 8 not willing to participate • Adjusted response rate of 69%

  4. Manufacturer Descriptives, N=29 • Module type produced • 19 monocrystalline • 25 polycrystalline • 4 amorphous silicon • 3 metalurgical silicon • 2 crystalline thin film • 1 CIGS • 1 CdTe • 12 manufacture in the United States • 17 manufacture elsewhere

  5. Responsible for Module CollectionMultiple Responses Collected • Over half of the respondents stated producers should be responsible for module collection • Some indicated this should be in coordination with an independent third party • 100% think a collection system is needed

  6. Responsible for Collection FinancingMultiple Responses Collected • Over half of the respondents stated producers should be responsible for collection financing • Of the 5 stating someone else should provide funding, 2 mentioned government agencies

  7. Responsible for Treatment FinancingMultiple Responses Collected • Almost half of the respondents stated producers should be responsible for treatment financing • Some mentioned who ever financially benefits from the sale of reclaimed material should finance module treatment

  8. Financing Take Back SystemMultiple Responses Collected • Methods of financing a take back system need further discussion and exploration • Most respondents mentioned the cost should be proportionally distributed in relation to actual production not capacity

  9. Manufacturers’ Consortium • 66% of participants were in favor of being a member of a fee based consortium that develops and implements policy for a take back and recycling program • Further exploration is needed for those who did not know
