SOLAREC-AU: Redefining Solar Panel Recycling in Australia
As Australia’s solar industry continues its rapid expansion, a new challenge has emerged — the need to responsibly manage millions of end-of-life photovoltaic panels. SOLAREC-AU was founded in Adelaide to meet that challenge head-on.
SOLAREC-AU is building Australia’s first large-scale facility dedicated to high-value solar panel recycling, transforming the way the nation thinks about renewable energy waste. Rather than focusing on landfill diversion alone, SOLAREC-AU’s approach is driven by true circularity — recovering valuable materials and reintroducing them into the clean-energy supply chain.
Following two years of intensive global research, SOLAREC-AU identified ROSI, the world leader in photovoltaic recycling technology, as its partner of choice. The ROSI system can recover up to 95% of the value of solar panel components, including high-purity glass, silicon, and precious metals — materials that are often lost in conventional recycling processes.
Together, SOLAREC-AU and ROSI are setting a new benchmark for sustainability, innovation, and resource recovery in Australia’s renewable energy sector. When complete, the facility will have the capacity to process up to one million panels each year, representing the most significant step forward in solar recycling in the country’s history.
By redefining the standards for circularity and material recovery, SOLAREC-AU is helping Australia close the loop on solar energy — ensuring that the clean energy of the future is matched by clean, responsible recycling today.
Simple
Contact SOLAREC-AU for a zero-cost, hassle-free solution to solar panel disposal. We make responsible recycling effortless.
Powerful
Our advanced recycling technology recovers up to 95% of the value in every solar panel. By transforming end-of-life panels into reusable materials, SOLAREC-AU powers the true circular economy for Australia’s clean energy future.
Responsible
Solar panels should never end up in landfill. SOLAREC-AU ensures every panel is recovered, reused, or repurposed — even purchasing panels that can be given a second life through sustainable recycling.
Driven by Sustainability
At SOLAREC-AU, sustainability is not a slogan — it is the foundation of everything we do. From the way we source technology to how we design our processes, every decision is guided by the goal of creating a truly circular solar economy. We believe clean energy must remain clean throughout its entire lifecycle. By recovering high-value materials from end-of-life solar panels and returning them to productive use, SOLAREC-AU is reducing waste, lowering carbon impact, and conserving critical resources. Our commitment is simple: to ensure that Australia’s renewable future is built on principles of responsibility, regeneration, and lasting environmental value.
“As the founder and CEO of SOLAREC-AU, my mission is to lead the transition towards a sustainable future by ensuring solar panel waste is responsibly recycled and reused. Through innovation and collaboration, we aim to create a circular economy, reduce landfill impact, and preserve valuable resources for future generations.
