Solar Panel Recycling with Cleanlites
When you are trying to recycle old solar panels, what you’re really recycling is metal, steel, silicone and most of all, solar cells. What exactly is a solar cell and what does it do? Solar cells absorb light, separate charge carriers and deliver carriers to outside circuits, more popularly knows as “generate usable electricity”. Think of solar cells a legos, one by itself is useless, but when stacked on top of each other solar cells create “photovoltaic modules”, which are more widely-known as solar panels.
Recycling every piece of an end of life solar panel should be any generator or recycler’s primary focus, but we have to place emphasis on not letting solar cells degrade in the environment. Solar panels are made primarily of glass, aluminum, plastic, and semiconductor materials that can be recycled at the end of a solar panel’s useful life. Recycling these materials gives them a second life rather than ending up in landfills. Similarly, important materials that can be recovered, such as silver, copper, and other metals, require a knowledgeable recycler with the appropriate processes and equipment. Some materials, by law, also require a properly permitted recycler to ensure that safe procedures and processes are employed.
Cleanlites recycling facilities have the capacity to efficiently recycle large volumes of solar panels, solar tracking systems, solar pv systems and solar energy storage systems. Our facilities are more than capable of handling the often volatile nature of solar energy systems. Cleanlites works directly with manufacturers, installers and solar repair operations to safely dispose of and fully recycle solar energy systems.

Landfill Policy
As you could imagine, solar tracking systems have evolved and improved significantly over the past decade, forcing many out of date solar tracking systems into the waste stream. Cleanlites is here to make sure dual and single axis solar tracking systems, and the computers that power them do not contaminate the environment.

Corporate Responsibility
There is no federal legislature in place that mandates or regulates recycling of solar panels from residential or commercial use. This does not stop Cleanlites from ensuring absolutely no waste from solar energy ends up in landfills, we’re very proud of our ability to divert several waste streams entirely from the landfill. Make sure you know your solar recycler before you send waste.
