SRS – Solar Recycling Solutions South West offers the only true UK-based recycling solution for solar panels, achieving 100% recycling with full transparency and auditable recycling routes for all materials.
Our focus on UK-based solutions helps minimize the carbon footprint while maximizing recycling efficiency. Since our launch, SRS has successfully completed numerous solar panel recycling projects, ranging from small isolated collections to large-scale operations involving over 5,000 panels.
We provide on-site project management and use innovative logistics and our fleet of all-terrain vehicles to handle various collection challenges.
Case Study:
5000+ Panels in NW England
For a project in NW England, limited vehicle access required us to deploy multiple vans and personnel to palletize, collect, and deliver the panels to a locally sourced satellite site. From there, we used curtainside lorries to maximize transport efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint.
The panels were then delivered to our recycling facility in SE London, all panels were 100% recycled with all output recyclables staying within the UK. This process provided the client with a full cradle-to-grave audit trail.
