SERVICES FOR RESPONSIBLE PERSON
Registration and Financial Guarantee for end-of-life management of incentivated photovoltaic modules
The Decree No. 49/2014 has included photovoltaic modules between Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). Therefore, the owner of phovoltaic plant incentivated in Conto Energia – Responsible Person – must properly manage the photovoltaic WEEE derivated by its plant.
The Decree No. 49/2014 establishes that the financing of end-of-life management about photovoltaic modules incentivated in Conto Energia it is up to Responsible Person. The photovoltaic modules, infact, are not covered by Financial Guarantee provided for by april 2014.
With the amendment that came into force on 07.02.2024, amending Article 40, paragraph 3 of Legislative Decree 49 of 2014, the Responsible Entity, owner of photovoltaic modules incentivized under the Conto Energia, may decide to deposit the Financial Guarantee, corresponding to half of the quota retained by the GSE, in the Trust of a Collective System recognized by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) such as Eco-PV.
Choose Eco-PV means to deposit the Financial Guarantee – equal amount of GSE deduction – into a Trust, a non-attachable fund regolated by normative. The fixed amount into Trust allows Eco-PV to cover the costs for pickup, transport and treatment of photovoltaic RAEE and offers to the responsibile party additional services as, for example, the total supervision of recycling chain and the production of relative documentation, pursuant to RAEE regulation.
The Trust of Eco-PV, calls “TRUST ECO-PV”, established in accordance with GSE Technical Regulations and with IV and V Conto Energia, is a non-attachable and controlled fund where the Responsible Person can pay the amount of Financial Guarantee for its incentivated photovoltaic modules. Is a real “transparent safe”: the amount is used only for pickup, transport and treatment services of guarantee modules. Cannot be used for no other reason.
The TRUST ECO-PV is subjected to double check of flows of paid amounts, as follows:
- the Trustee, external person, with necessary requirements of professionalism and morality, manages the amount transfer from Trust to Consortium availability only when there is a need to manage the guaranteed phovoltaic modules end-of-life;
- the Guarantor, “super partes” person outside of Consorzio, with high morality and competence, who verifies fulfillment of obligations about the management of TRUST ECO-PV, and verifies fulfillment of obligations by Eco-PV.
