Second Life PV, Interview with Gernot Oreski, Task 13 Expert

rk conditions remain complex. In this interview, Gernot Oreski, main author of the IEA PVPS Task 13 report “Second Life PV”, discusses the key outcomes and impact of the report. He explains what recent laboratory research, pilot projects and field experience reveal about repair, refurbishment and testing-based reuse strategies for extending module lifetime. Gernot highlights why automated testing and structured triage approaches are currently the most robust pathway for second-life PV deployment, and why economic viability remains a decisive factor in a market characterised by rapidly declining new module prices. He also reflects on the broader relevance of the work for Austria, where Task 13 activities contribute to discussions on circular economy, quality assurance and long-term sustainability of PV systems. The interview illustrates how international collaboration within IEA PVPS Task 13 translates into practical knowledge and measurable impact at national level.
