Solar Panel Recycling (Cat 14)
Business collections for waste photovoltaic panels and associated electrical equipment.
Request a collection quoteSolar panel recycling for commercial installations
Our solar panel recycling service covers waste photovoltaic panels, inverters and related electrical components from business installations and decommissioning projects. Replacement programmes can generate intact modules alongside damaged panels and other equipment from the same installation. Describe the panel quantities, dimensions, condition and current storage location so our team can review the collection, with any removal work or specialist treatment discussed separately.
Waste photovoltaic panels, inverters and associated electrical equipment can be collected from business installations, maintenance work and decommissioning projects.
Examples for collection
This list is not exhaustive. Tell us about other electrical items in the same load and our team can review them together.
- Photovoltaic panelsRoof and ground arrays removed at end of life or after damage.
- Power invertersString and micro inverters replaced during a system upgrade.
- Solar controllersCharge controllers withdrawn from smaller off-grid installations.
- Mounting hardwareRails, brackets and fixings recovered from a panel removal; these are non-electrical items and should be described separately.
Describe the solar equipment project
Count panels and equipment
Provide panel quantities and list inverters, optimisers, controllers or other electrical equipment separately.
Describe panel condition
Identify intact, cracked or fire-damaged panels and explain how they are stacked or stored.
Confirm removal and access
State whether equipment has been removed from the installation and describe site and loading arrangements.
Recycling photovoltaic equipment
We arrange onward recycling and treatment based on the electrical waste being collected and your location.
Photovoltaic panels combine glass, frames, cells, cabling and other materials, while inverters contain different electrical components. Panels and associated equipment are reviewed as distinct waste types.
The importance of recycling solar panels
Photovoltaic panels contain glass, aluminium frames, silicon cells and cabling, most of which can be recovered. Recycling end-of-life panels keeps a growing waste stream out of landfill and returns glass and metals to productive use.

Tell us what needs collecting from your business. Our team will review the equipment, quantities and location before discussing collection arrangements.
Solar Panel Recycling FAQs
Can damaged or broken solar panels be collected?
Yes. Mention any broken glass or damaged panels in your enquiry so they can be handled and packed appropriately.
Can inverters be collected with panels?
Yes. Inverters, optimisers, mounting hardware and cabling can be listed in the same collection enquiry.
What materials are recovered from solar panels?
Panels contain glass, aluminium frames, silicon cells and cabling, much of which can be recovered through recycling.
