The glass from discarded panels is recycled in the same way as glass from the bottle bank.
Namely, by remelting it for applications such as glasses, jars and bottles.
Aluminum in solar panels can often be fully recycled.
It is remelted and can be reused indefinitely.
Copper wires are also useful parts and can be repurposed as cables or copper wire, adding to the sustainability of the recycling process.
There are several reasons why solar panels can be recycled.
We explain some of these reasons for you below.
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years.
After this period, their efficiency decreases significantly, and it may be more economically beneficial to replace them.
Old solar panels lose their ability to convert sunlight into electricity over time due to degradation of the materials.
This means that although they still work, their energy output is no longer optimal.
It is therefore advisable to consider replacing end-of-life solar panels with new, more efficient ones.
Regular maintenance is important for optimizing the performance of solar panels.
Problems such as damage to the glass coating, loose connections or faulty inverters cause solar panel performance to deteriorate.
When these problems occur frequently and repairs are no longer cost-effective, replacement is a logical step.
New solar panels ensure that the system remains reliable and delivers maximum energy output without much maintenance.
When solar panels show a decline in solar energy output, it is a sign that replacement is necessary.
After years of operation, the cells in solar panels can become less effective at converting sunlight to electricity.
Therefore, always keep monitoring the energy production of your solar panels.
Would you like to have your solar panels recycled and are you curious about the costs?
Then make an appointment with one of our employees.
The cost of recycling solar panels depends very much on the quantity.
Therefore, we cannot promise you a fixed rate.
Our staff will find out for you and send you a quotation without any obligation.
IT recycling’s solar panel recycling service is available exclusively for businesses.
This means that only business customers can use our solar panel recycling services.
By focusing on businesses, we can conduct large-scale recycling operations and efficiently address the specific needs of businesses.
We provide environmentally friendly disposal and processing of solar panels, allowing companies to not only comply with legal requirements, but also contribute to sustainability and environmental preservation.
Private customers unfortunately cannot use this service.
The WEEELABEX standard, still relatively unknown in the Netherlands, plays a major role in the recycling and disposal of solar panels.
Did you know that improper disposal of solar panels through a non-certified provider can even result in fines?
Since July 1, 2015, this certification has been a mandatory European standard for anyone handling discarded solar panels.
The standard establishes uniform procedures for collecting, storing, transporting, processing, recycling and reusing electronic waste and is required by law.
The primary purpose of this standard is to ensure that companies handling electronic waste.
The European Union requires that at least 85% of discarded computers be reused, either as complete devices or as sources of raw materials such as metals and plastics.
IT recycling strives for a sustainable future where recycling goes beyond computers and hardware.
By adding solar panels and lithium batteries to our services, we actively help reduce electronic waste and promote the green march in the energy sector.
