What We Offer
PV Recycling &
Logistics Coordination
Our two primary services — solar panel recycling and end-to-end logistics — are backed by compliance documentation, value recovery support, and a trusted partner marketplace for resale.
Our Primary Service
PV Module Recycling
Solar panel recycling is what we do. Crystalline silicon and thin-film modules at end-of-life must be handled as hazardous waste in many states, and improper disposal carries significant regulatory and liability risk.
Repurpose Solar partners with certified PV recycling facilities across the country to ensure every panel is processed in full compliance with applicable federal and state regulations. You receive a recycling certificate for every panel — documentation that protects your business and demonstrates environmental responsibility.
- Certified recycling facility partnerships nationwide
- Hazardous materials compliance (DTSC, RCRA, state-specific)
- Per-panel recycling certificates
- Pickup and transport included
- Annual recycling summary reports available
This load is headed directly to our EPA-certified recycling facility. Every transport is conducted under certified carrier compliance — proper manifests, hazardous material handling protocols, and chain-of-custody documentation from pickup to final processing.
End-to-End Project Handling
Logistics & Transportation Coordination
The hardest part of a solar retirement project isn't the recycling — it's the coordination. Removal scheduling, crew dispatch, packaging requirements, freight routing, and compliance documentation all need to line up before a single panel comes off a rooftop.
We handle all of it. Our logistics team coordinates directly with licensed contractors, freight carriers, and receiving facilities so your project moves on time, safely, and with the paperwork your state requires.
- Removal scheduling and crew coordination
- Packaging and palletization to DOT standards
- Freight routing and transportation management
- State-specific compliance planning
- Progress reporting and chain-of-custody tracking
Every load is fully documented — pallet ID, module count, condition assessment, and chain-of-custody sign-off before any panel leaves the site. Compliance isn't an afterthought, it's built into every pickup.
Specialty Recycling
Solar Ballast Block Recycling
Concrete ballast blocks used in ballasted rooftop and ground-mount solar systems present a unique end-of-life challenge. These heavy concrete blocks — typically 30 to 60 lbs each — are left behind when systems are removed and cannot simply be landfilled in many jurisdictions.
Repurpose Solar coordinates the collection, transportation, and compliant recycling or repurposing of solar ballast blocks. We work with licensed contractors and concrete recycling facilities to ensure blocks are properly handled, crushed, and recycled as aggregate or repurposed for other construction applications.
- Ballasted rooftop and ground-mount systems
- Licensed contractor coordination for removal
- Concrete recycling facility partnerships
- Transportation and logistics management
- Compliant disposal documentation
- Volume pricing for large commercial projects
Concrete solar ballast blocks palletized and ready for transport to a concrete recycling facility — crushed and repurposed as construction aggregate, keeping thousands of pounds of concrete out of landfills.
Hazardous Materials Handling
Solar Battery & Energy Storage Recycling
Lithium-ion, lead-acid, and other battery chemistries used in solar energy storage systems require specialized handling at end-of-life. Solar batteries are classified as hazardous waste in most states and cannot be disposed of through standard waste streams — improper disposal carries significant regulatory and environmental risk.
Repurpose Solar coordinates the safe collection, transportation, and compliant recycling of solar batteries and energy storage systems of all sizes — from residential lithium packs to utility-scale BESS units. We work with certified hazardous waste handlers and battery recycling facilities to ensure full regulatory compliance and proper material recovery.
- Lithium-ion, LFP, lead-acid, and NMC chemistries
- Residential to utility-scale BESS systems
- Certified hazardous waste transportation
- State-specific compliance documentation
- EPA and DOT compliant handling protocols
- Chain-of-custody tracking from pickup to processing
- Recycling certificates provided
⚠️ Solar batteries are classified as hazardous waste in most states. Improper disposal can result in significant fines and environmental liability. Always use a certified handler.

Capture Residual Value Before Recycling
Value Recovery
Not every panel coming off a site needs to be recycled. Many still have significant market value, and our team can identify, grade, and appraise qualifying modules so that value isn't lost.
Where appropriate, we connect recoverable inventory with our sister marketplace at Repurpose Exchange — so value recovery always flows into a clean resale path rather than a secondary service we run ourselves.
- Equipment grading and performance testing
- Current market-rate appraisal
- Condition reports for insurance and audit
- Hand-off to the Repurpose Exchange marketplace
Functional panels are evaluated before recycling — IV curve tracer testing, multimeter checks, and visual inspection allow us to offset recycling costs through resale value recovery via Repurpose Exchange.
Partner Platform
Panel Resale Marketplace
Have functional panels worth reselling? We partner with Repurpose Exchange — visit repurposeexchange.com to list or browse available inventory.
Repurpose Solar does not operate a resale service in-house. All resale activity happens through our sister marketplace, which connects sellers with qualified domestic and international buyers.
- List panels, inverters, racking, and BOS components
- Browse certified pre-owned inventory
- Domestic and international buyer network
- Operated as a separate, dedicated marketplace
Resale is handled entirely by our partner platform — not by Repurpose Solar.

Not everything gets recycled. Used solar panels, racking, inverters, batteries, transformers, and other BOS equipment with remaining value gets a second life through Repurpose Exchange — this transformer found a new owner instead of a landfill.
