FIELD GUIDE

Prepare a more
useful material brief.

A clear first enquiry reduces guesswork. These six details help a material review begin in the right place.

1. Identify the material stream

Describe what has actually arisen: loose solar cell manufacturing scrap, rejected modules, damaged installed modules, or a mix. Where possible, separate descriptions by source and technology.

A cell-scrap lot is different from complete laminated modules. Use the words your team can verify and mark unknown details as unknown.

2. State the quantity and the unit

Use measured mass where available. Label estimates clearly. Kilograms and metric tonnes can be converted directly: one metric tonne is 1,000 kilograms.

A panel count is useful, but it is not a mass. Keep it separate unless a reliable unit weight is known. Avoid turning nameplate wattage into an assumed material weight.

3. Describe condition and mixing

Explain whether material is whole, broken, loose, laminated or mixed with other waste. Note known contamination or damage in plain language. Do not break material or undertake handling solely to prepare a website enquiry.

4. Explain where the material is

Share the city and state first, then discuss exact pickup and access details privately. Include whether the material is still installed or already stored, and who is coordinating the site.

5. Share availability and frequency

Is this a single lot, a recurring production stream or a staged asset-retirement project? Indicate a preferred timeframe without treating it as a confirmed collection date.

6. Keep supporting records available

Existing inventory lists, module model information and appropriate photographs may help a later review. The website form accepts text; arrange secure sharing of additional material with the team.

Keep confidential production information out of an initial enquiry. Share only what is needed to explain the material.
