“The Niagara County Legislature has approved a resolution that will fund efforts to require solar project developers to comply with recycling regulations of panels. The resolution aims to help enforce Local Law Number 4 of 2021, which was signed into law in April 2021.
The law goes into effect on Aug. 1 and requires that no manufacturer, distributor, retailer or installer of solar panels may sell or offer for sale a photovoltaic module in or into the county unless the manufacturer of the module is in full compliance. Each solar manufacturer or stewardship organization will need to prepare and submit a stewardship plan to the county by Aug. 1, or within 30 days of its first sale of modules to or into the county.”
