SOLAR PANEL RECYCLING

As solar energy continues to grow as a vital component of our renewable energy landscape, so does the importance of responsible end-of-life practices for solar panels. True recycling requires reclaiming all commodities and our advanced recycling technologies accomplishes just that. Cleanly separated glass, metals, plastics, and aluminum is recovered and re-introduced into the supply chain.
Recycling 1
Our core focus is to champion true solar panel recycling within the emerging US market. Ineffective PV recycling is the co-mingling of panel commodities through shred lines not equipped for solar, commonly seen on e-waste and metal yard shred lines.  As more regulations form on solar recycling & decommissioning at the local, state, and federal levels, our technologies will stay ahead of the curve, always compliant and sustainable.  We also recycle inverters, batteries, trackers, & racking.

Re-Power for Re-Use. At times during re-powers, panels being removed have life left on them and a potential opportunity for re-use. Our team can seek out markets if the panel wattage, condition, and panel type have market demand.  SPR’s  team and facilities have the ability to safely test, market, pack and ship panels that have a re-use demand.

For projects of all sizes, our experienced team can come on-site to stack, palletize, band, and load previously removed panels.  Our team is experienced working in various terrains, adhering to the safety protocols of our company and your solar site, trained as heavy equipment operators, and travels to all fifty states.

TRANSPORTATION & FACILITIES

SPR is committed to investing in regional facilities throughout the USA to lower the carbon footprint of panels being transported from solar site to recycling facility.  We currently have advanced recycling facilities in North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas with rapid expansion plans into other regions of the US slated to begin soon. We currently service all fifty states.

SPR’s transportation team will ensure each truck maximizes the number of panels loaded, lowering both the transport costs and carbon footprint of your project.  Different panel sizes require different truck types. Varying site terrains require different loading resources. Varying panel compositions require proper compliance in transport regulations.  Our logistics team is experienced in seamless shipping for your project’s efficiency and success.

Our compliance team will navigate our clients through the evolving rules and regulations in solar recycling & decommissioning at local, state, and federal levels.  Our management team commonly meets with various state legislatures and environmental quality departments to understand the landscape of their state.
