Proper disposal
A MV Power Station which has come to the end of their service life constitute electronic waste. Electronic waste
contains on the one hand valuable materials (e.g. copper, aluminum or steel) which can be recycled as
secondary raw materials, and on the other, substances which are hazardous to the environment (e.g. oil or SF6
gas). Contact your local commercial disposal services for information on optimum material utilization and
environmentally friendly disposal.
For further information on disposal and recycling, refer to the respective documentation of the individual devices. For
example, after the useful life has expired, the SF6 gas used in medium-voltage switchgears can be extracted
completely and then sent for recycling.
We can support you (see Section 17, page 256) in implementing the measures necessary for the disposal and
recycling of the PV power plants.
