Our Services
At SolaRec, we offer a range of services to support the sustainable management of solar panels. Our goal is to ensure that no solar panel ever needs to end up in a landfill. Below are the key services we provide:
Nationwide Collection
We offer comprehensive solar panel collection services across Australia. Our team ensures the safe and efficient pickup of your solar panels, whether they are from residential, commercial, or industrial sites. Here’s how it works:
- Easy Scheduling: Use our Pickup Form to set up an agreement for hassle-free collection at your convenience.
- Flexible Options: We cater to both small-scale residential pickups and large-scale commercial or industrial removals.
- Safe Handling: Our trained professionals handle all panels with care to prevent damage and ensure they are transported safely to our recycling facility.
Decommissioning Assistance
Decommissioning solar panels, especially from industrial sites, can be a complex and challenging process. SolaRec provides expert assistance to ensure this process is smooth and efficient:
- Site Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment of your site to plan the decommissioning process effectively.
- Professional Removal: Our team safely removes solar panels, adhering to all safety regulations and environmental guidelines.
- Logistical Support: We manage the entire logistics, from dismantling to transportation, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
- Documentation: We provide all necessary documentation, including Certificates of Recycling, to help you meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.
Second Life for Solar Panels
We believe in extending the life cycle of solar panels by giving them a second life. Our process involves:
- Inspection and Testing: Once collected, we clean, check, and test each panel to determine its condition and potential for reuse.
- Refurbishment: Panels that pass our quality checks are refurbished and prepared for reuse.
- Resale and Donation: Refurbished panels are either sold at affordable prices or donated to organisations and communities in need, promoting sustainability and access to renewable energy.
- Partner Collaboration: We work with an Australian company specialising in refurbishing older panels, ensuring they are given a second life rather than ending up in landfills.

Consultation Services
We offer specialised consultation services to assist our partners in creating economically viable and sustainable circular economy solutions. Our expert team works closely with you during the decommissioning or refurbishment of your site, providing tailored advice to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Whether you’re upgrading to more efficient solar panels or seeking to minimise waste, we ensure that every step of the process aligns with best practices in sustainability. Our consultations cover the entire PV ecosystem, including packaging and logistics, to help you achieve your environmental goals effectively.
Low Carbon Footprint Transport:
At SOLAREC, we prioritise sustainability in every aspect of our operations. Our on-site collection service uses a battery-powered truck recharged with solar energy from refurbished secondhand PV panels. This innovative approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting and recycling solar panels. By utilising renewable energy for our transport needs, we minimise greenhouse gas emissions and promote a cleaner environment. Our commitment to low carbon transport ensures that our recycling process is as eco-friendly as possible, aligning with our mission to support a sustainable circular economy.
