Comstock Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Comstock Metals, has secured a long-term lease on a 100,000 sq.ft., facility located at 600 Lake Avenue, Silver Springs, Nevada. The facility will deploy the capacity for processing up to 100,000 tons per year of end-of-life solar panels, and is located on the same campus as the currently operating demonstration facility. Comstock Metals recently received unanimous approval for a conditional use permit from the Lyon County, Nevada, board of county commissioners, for the operations and material storage of solar panels at this facility. This permit accelerated activities deploying the first-of-its-kind, regional solar panel recycling operation.
Comstock Metals is advancing leading technologies and sustainable practices in the solar recycling industry. The new storage capacity enables the company to efficiently manage and process large quantities of end-of-life solar panels and delivers a 100 percent closed-loop, zero-landfill solution that sets a new standard for solar panel recycling.
The Silver Springs facility is strategically located to serve the rapidly expanding solar industry in the Western U.S.
