Quick collections and compliant solutions for solar equipment waste.
At MetalCycle, we specialise in the responsible collection and recycling of solar inverters and other solar power equipment. Based in the UK, we work with businesses of all sizes to manage their end-of-life solar equipment. Our team ensures that valuable materials are recovered and harmful waste is prevented from entering landfill.
Whether you’re decommissioning a solar farm, upgrading your commercial system, or disposing of damaged units, we provide a reliable and compliant recycling solution.
Solar inverters play a vital role in converting DC power from solar panels into usable AC power. However, once they reach the end of their lifespan (usually after 10–15 years), they contain a mix of electronic components, precious metals, and potentially hazardous materials.
Recycling solar inverters offers clear benefits:
We collect directly from your site, transport the waste safely, and process it at licensed recycling facilities. The types of solar equipment we commonly collect includes:
Efficient recycling of photovoltaic panels, recovering glass, silicon, and valuable metals.
End-of-life or faulty inverters dismantled and recycled in a compliant manner.
Collection and safe processing of solar transformers containing copper, steel, and other metals.
Recycling for solar storage batteries, including lithium-ion and lead-acid.
