The South West has taken to solar faster than almost anywhere in the country, and every one of those panels will eventually need a responsible second life. PV Recycling collects and recycles end of service modules for businesses across Bristol and the surrounding counties, turning retired arrays back into usable raw material.
Few people realise just how much of a solar panel can be saved. Break one down and you are left with high grade glass, aluminium, silicon and a small but worthwhile quantity of metals, nearly all of which can go back into manufacturing rather than ending up in the ground. PV Recycling exists to make that recovery happen, handling photovoltaic waste from commercial sites across Bristol so that nothing of value is thrown away.
There is a legal side to it as well. Once panels are decommissioned they fall under the WEEE regulations, and the duty to deal with them correctly sits with your business. We make that part effortless. Working with companies only, from installers and contractors to facilities teams and solar farm operators, we take the whole problem off your hands and hand you back a clean compliance record in return.
Send us the full system and we will deal with every part of it, including:
Straightforward, compliant and built around your project timeline.
We hold full waste carrier registration and handle every load under WEEE and duty of care, so the legal side is never something you have to think about.
From central Bristol to projects spread across Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, we plan collections around you.
The overwhelming majority of every panel is recovered and returned to manufacturing instead of going to landfill.
Each collection ends with a recycling certificate and waste transfer notes, ready for your reporting and audits.
A clear path from enquiry to certificate
01
Tell us what you have, roughly how many panels and where the site is, and we will quote with no obligation.
02
A collection is booked to fit your programme and our team loads everything safely from site.
03
Back at the plant your panels are separated so the glass, silicon and metals can be reclaimed.
04
We issue your certificate and transfer notes so the job is signed off and fully evidenced.
Covering commercial sites and projects throughout the region and the surrounding counties.
The whole system. Alongside every type of panel we can remove inverters, isolators, cabling and all of the mounting hardware.
A recycling certificate and complete waste transfer documentation, which is enough to satisfy any audit or client request.
Throughout the region, taking in Bath, Bristol and sites across Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
