As solar energy adoption grows, so does the need for responsible solar equipment disposal. ECER Inc. offers solar panel recycling services that prioritize sustainability, safety, and compliance—turning end-of-life panels and hardware into recovered resources, not waste.
Solar panels are built to last, but when they reach the end of their useful life, they can’t simply be tossed in the trash. Many panels contain materials like lead, cadmium, and other hazardous elements that require careful handling to avoid environmental contamination. With the rising volume of decommissioned solar systems, proper recycling is more important than ever.
At ECER Inc., we specialize in recycling photovoltaic systems in a way that supports a circular economy. From recovering silicon and aluminum components to ensuring toxic materials are responsibly handled, our process protects both your organization and the planet—while keeping you fully compliant with regulations.
We can recycle various elements of a solar panel.
We can handle almost every aspect of a solar panel.
The most common type of panel—processed to recover raw materials, such as silicon and aluminum components.
Safely recycled using specialized processes that recover raw materials found in the panels.
We recycle inverters and converters for copper wiring, circuit boards, and reusable parts.
Aluminum and steel frames are separated and recycled to minimize waste and maximize recovery.
Copper wiring and enclosure materials are recovered safely and sustainably.
Every step is designed for efficiency, safety, and compliance. From the moment you request service to the final certificate of recycling, ECER Inc. makes solar panel recycling simple and fully compliant.
We coordinate compliant pickup and removal, handled by trained ECER personnel.
Each panel and component is inspected for condition, type, and materials.
Panels are processed to recover glass, silicon, and metals—or tested for reuse where possible.
You receive Certificates of Recycling with full details for your records, reporting, and audits.
Solar panels are a major player in clean energy—but their long-term waste impact must be addressed. As solar adoption continues to rise, millions of photovoltaic panels installed in the past two to three decades are approaching the end of their lifespan. By 2030, more than 8 million metric tons of retired panels are expected to accumulate, and by 2050, that number could grow tenfold—making up nearly 10% of the world’s electronic waste.
While solar power is still one of the cleanest energy sources available, end-of-life panels pose a growing environmental challenge. At ECER Inc., we believe sustainability doesn’t stop at installation. Our mission is to ensure that these materials are recycled responsibly, hazardous components are properly handled, and recoverable materials like aluminum and glass are returned to the supply chain—keeping solar energy clean from start to finish.
At ECER Inc., we’re equipped to handle high-volume recycling needs from commercial buildings, solar farms, and large institutional facilities. Whether you’re decommissioning rooftop arrays on office complexes or replacing aging infrastructure across multiple sites, we offer scalable pickup and processing solutions that simplify logistics and ensure full regulatory compliance. Our transport team and experienced technicians make it easy to recycle thousands of panels, inverters, or batteries with minimal disruption to your operations.
We proudly partner with solar installers, utility providers, school districts, municipalities, and government agencies to offer streamlined, responsible recycling programs tailored to large-scale projects. From initial assessment through final documentation, ECER Inc. delivers transparent service and fast turnaround—ensuring your sustainability goals are met without added complexity.
Today, 7% of homes in the U.S. have solar. By 2030, this figure is expected to surpass 15% of households nationwide.
Scientists estimate that by 2030, over 8 million metric tons of PV panels will reach end-of-life status.
Today, solar panels produce about 3% of the world’s electricity, and that number is rising fast.
Nearly 80% of a solar panel’s weight comes from aluminum and glass—both widely recyclable.
While solar panels are recyclable, they contain polymers that make recycling difficult.
Solar Panel Recycling
We recycle nearly all types of solar panels, including crystalline silicon (c-Si) and thin-film solar panels. Our process ensures the responsible recycling of solar panels.
Yes. ECER Inc. offers compliant pickup and transportation services, handled by our trained personnel. We manage bulk removal from solar farms, commercial buildings, municipalities, and more.
Absolutely. We recycle inverters, converters, wiring, racking hardware, combiner boxes, and solar storage batteries. We provide full-system recycling for end-of-life solar installations.
Yes. We are a fully approved recycling company, and our process meets all applicable regulations. We also provide Certificates of Recycling for your records and compliance needs.
Recovered materials such as aluminum, glass, silicon, copper, and metals are returned to the supply chain or repurposed for future use, supporting a sustainable circular economy.
