Extending lifecycles for renewable energy assets
Revamping and repowering can turn an ageing asset into a more efficient, more profitable force for the renewable energy transition.
Bring back your project’s full potential
What happens to older components that get removed during revamping or repowering? IRENA predicts a global 70 million metric tons in PV waste alone by 2050. But we’re already working to combat this issue.
BayWa r.e. takes care of your used solar equipment, ensuring it’s handled responsibly and sustainably. Where components can’t be re-used, we’ll handle recycling. We also provide up-to-date advice and insight into fast-moving recycling legislation worldwide.
In the case of wind, we resell old turbines as a whole, often to other countries. Where this isn’t possible, our subcontractors recycle as much of the turbine as they can.

Revamping vs repowering
What’s the difference between revamping and repowering renewable energy installations?
The process of re-optimisation
BayWa r.e. understands that a clear, proven method to revamping or repowering a renewable energy installation can restore older projects to peak condition in the shortest possible span of time.
The benefits of revamping and repowering wind and solar assets
Replacing old PV components and wind turbines with today’s equivalents can do more than simply extend your asset’s lifecycle. Depending on the technology being upgraded this could even improve your installation’s previous performance.
