Creating a Greener Future Through Solar Panel Recycling
At Solar Recycling Solutions (SRS), we don’t just talk about the circular economy – we make it a reality. By pioneering solar panel recycling in the UK, SRS is creating a closed-loop solution for a growing waste stream while reducing our collective environmental impact.
What Is the Circular Economy?
The circular economy is a shift from the traditional take-make-dispose model. It prioritises:
- Designing out waste and pollution
- Keeping products and materials in use
- Regenerating natural systems
Instead of throwing used solar panels away, SRS ensures these complex products are dismantled, cleaned, and their materials – glass, aluminium, silicon, silver – reused in future manufacturing.
Keeping Recycling in the UK: Less Emissions, More Impact
Many UK companies still export solar waste to overseas facilities, increasing carbon emissions and losing control over recycling quality.
At SRS, our mission is to keep solar panel recycling within the UK, wherever possible. This means:
- Lower carbon emissions from transport
- Better oversight of recycling processes
- Strengthening the UK green economy and jobs
This UK-based solution aligns with UBH Group’s sustainability commitments, making SRS a key part of a cleaner more circular future.
As the number of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) panels rises, our innovative processes ensure that valuable materials are recovered and reused, rather than sent to landfill. This is sustainability in action
SRS Powers Change in the Real World
We work with solar farm operators, installers, maintenance providers and local authorities to streamline and simplify the recycling process.
Key Features of Our Service:
Collection
Flexible pick-up schedules across the UK.
Testing
Panels are assessed for reuse or material recovery.
Refurbishment & Reuse
Many panels are returned to the market.
Material Recovery
Broken panels are processed for maximum resource extraction.
Supporting Net Zero Goals
Our work directly supports the UK’s net zero carbon targets. By repurposing and recovering critical materials, we reduce the need for raw material extraction, which is often carbon-intensive. Every panel reused or recycled through SRS makes a measurable impact.
Take the Circular Route with SRS
Whether you’re decommissioning a solar farm or replacing a rooftop of panels, we’re here to help.
