UKSOL Solar Panel Recycling

Sustainable solar. From start to finish.

Responsible Solar Panel Recycling.

Through our dedicated Recycling Scheme operating at the UK’s only approved solar panel recycling plant — we transform retired solar panels into reusable raw materials, stopping harmful & toxic materials going to landfill and making solar truly sustainable from the start to the end of its lifespan.

Making Solar Sustainable from Beginning to End.

Although the solar industry is celebrated for its sustainability goals, many panels still end up in landfill, where their toxic components threaten biodiversity. At UKSOL we therefore regard solar panel recycling as essential — it ensures panels are sustainable throughout their entire lifecycle.

Once recycled and fully processed, panels are converted into reusable raw materials that can be manufactured into new products and given a second life..

UKSOL’s solar module recycling facility is the only factory approved by the Environment Agency in the UK.

Why Recycle?

Solar panels last 25–30 years. As older systems are decommissioned, recycling matters more than ever:

  • Protects the environment by preventing hazardous waste

  • Recovers valuable materials like glass, silicon & metals

  • Supports the circular economy and reduces resource extraction

  • Meets UK & EU compliance for waste regulations
