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

Owners list end-of-life systems in one structured form. The pooled inventory becomes a market decommissioners and recyclers can finally see.

/ 02
Standardize

Every RFP uses the same fields and scoring rubric, Stage 1 decom or Stage 2 repower. Bidders compete on a level field; owners compare apples to apples.

/ 03
Bundle

Opt-in bundling pairs nearby projects into one mobilization, so owners reach volume pricing they can't get alone and partners skip prospecting job by job.

The wave

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

Modeled from the historical install curve: 25-year service life plus an early-exit share rising with the mid-2010s utility-scale boom. The first wave is already moving and it is mostly repowering.

The flagship promise

Decommissioning, without the bill.

Renovo stacks up to six mechanisms to substantively lower decommissioning costs.

Recovered-value offset

Resold modules and recovered metals are credited against the teardown bill.

offsets 30–70% of cost
Reverse auction + bundling

Competing vetted crews and route-packaged scopes price at utilization, not retail.

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

OEMs and EPCs subsidize teardown to win the far larger new-equipment order.

can offset 100% of decom
Materials forward contractsROADMAP

Pre-sell U.S.-recovered materials forward for domestic-content premiums.

extra recovered-value capture
The Decommissioning GuaranteeROADMAP

Lock future teardown at a fixed price for less than a surety bond costs.

frees bonded capital
Donation & insurance levers

FMV tax deductions on donated modules; insurer storm salvage routed through the platform.

Left: the decom cost today. Right: the value the marketplace recaptures, netting the bill to about zero. How close to $0 it lands depends on the site's residual value.
