Wales set itself some of the boldest renewable targets in the UK, and the commercial rooftops around Cardiff have backed that up with solar. As the first generation of those systems ages out, PV Recycling collects and recycles waste panels for businesses across the capital and South Wales, keeping their materials in use.
A retired solar array is not something you can simply skip. Once the panels come off a roof or out of a field they are classed as WEEE, and the duty to deal with them correctly sits squarely with the business that owns the site. PV Recycling takes that responsibility on, collecting photovoltaic modules from across Cardiff and recovering the glass, aluminium, silicon and metals locked inside each one so that almost nothing is wasted.
Ours is a service for businesses alone. We support solar installers, contractors, facilities teams and solar farm operators throughout the region. From a handful of failed modules to an entire ground mount site, you work with a single point of contact and finish the job holding a full, clean set of records.
We clear the complete installation rather than the panels in isolation, taking:
