Decommission.Recycle.Repower.

The two-way marketplace and clearinghouse for renewables. End to end: aggregate end-of-life inventory, automate standardized RFPs, bundle nearby projects, then repower and reenergize.

What Renovo does

One platform across the entire end-of-life and repower lifecycle.

Decommissioning, recycling or donating, and repowering flow through one vetted network including decommissioners, recyclers, donee partners, and EPCs, with one coordinated workflow from first bolt out to new system energized.

/ 01
Aggregate

Asset owners list end-of-life systems in a structured form that captures site, capacity, panel and inverter manufacturer, age, and readiness date. The pooled inventory becomes a market that decommissioners and recyclers can finally see.

/ 02
Standardize

Every RFP arrives in the same format with the same data fields and the same scoring rubric, whether it's a Stage 1 decom-plus-recycle or a Stage 2 EPC repower. Bidders compete on a level field and owners compare across consistent axes.

/ 03
Bundle

Opt-in geographic bundling pairs nearby projects into single mobilizations. Owners capture volume pricing they can't reach alone, and partners receive more consistent deal flow without having to prospect one job at a time.

The wave

Twenty-five years of installations are becoming a decommissioning pipeline.

Drag the timeline to watch the U.S. fleet build from 2010 to today, then see when that fleet is projected to come back down. Hover any state or bar for detail.

The flagship promise

Decommissioning, without the bill.

Teardown is genuinely hard, bespoke work, and labor is most of the bill. What makes it needlessly expensive is a fragmented market where recovered value leaks away. Six potential mechanisms stacked to recapture that value and drive net cost toward zero or below.

Recovered-value offset

Working modules resell at $0.05–0.14/W; aluminum, copper, steel, and recovered silver carry commodity value. Every stream is auctioned and credited line-by-line against the teardown bill.

offsets 30–70% of cost
Reverse auction + bundling

One-off jobs carry mobilization and risk premiums. Bundled, route-packaged scopes and competing vetted crews price at utilization, not retail (campaign bundling saves ~25–30% in the comparable oil & gas decom market).

cuts teardown ~25–30%
Repower trade-in subsidyROADMAP

OEMs and EPCs will subsidize removal of the old fleet to win the new-equipment order on the same site; decom becomes customer acquisition against a 10–20× larger hardware sale. How much depends on equipment cost, competition, and site conditions.

can offset or eliminate decom cost
Materials forward contractsROADMAP

Domestic-content rules give U.S.-recovered glass, silver, aluminum, and silicon compliance value. Selling recovered-material offtake forward turns tomorrow's commodity stream into today's discount.

The Decommissioning GuaranteeROADMAP

Owners post surety bonds at 1–2%/yr for 20–25 years, tying up capital. Renovo's guarantee locks future teardown at a fixed net price for a lower fee, releasing bonded capital and locking in future supply.

Donation & insurance levers

Fair-market-value tax deductions on donated working modules; insurer partnerships route hail and storm salvage through the platform for claim value recovery.

must eventually come down.

Six million U.S. installations of forward inventory. One marketplace to take them down, route every component, and power the sites back up.
