How it works

From your site to recycled material, with a certificate back to you.

Six stages, one point of contact and a paper trail for every load.

  1. Quote & schedulePer-panel price, freight included
  2. Pack & shipPalletized full truckloads
  3. Receive & weighCounted and logged on arrival
  4. Dismantle & separateFrames off, materials separated on our line
  5. RecoverMaterials returned to manufacturing
  6. CertifyCertificate for every load

  1. Quote & schedule

    Share the panel count, condition and pickup location, along with the module datasheet or model reference. We confirm a per-panel price, including freight, and book a pickup date.

  2. Pack & ship

    Stack panels flat on pallets and strap them. We send simple packing guidance. The number of panels per truck depends on module size and weight.

  3. Receive & weigh

    Each load is counted, weighed and logged on arrival, so what you shipped matches what you're billed and certified for.

  4. Dismantle & separate

    Frames and junction boxes come off first, then the panel runs through our recycling line, which separates the materials.

  5. Recover

    Recovered materials are sold back into manufacturing instead of going to landfill.

  6. Certify

    You receive a certificate of recycling for each load, ready for your compliance files.
