Specialist waste management for the renewable energy sector. As solar farms, battery storage systems, and EV infrastructure reach end of life, we provide the licensed treatment, material recovery, and compliance documentation that the renewables industry needs to close the loop on clean energy responsibly.
Introduction
The renewable energy sector is generating a new wave of end-of-life waste. Solar farms installed in the early 2010s are now reaching decommission, BESS and EV chargers are being replaced as technology evolves, and inverters, cables, and HV infrastructure all need compliant disposal. Waste Experts sits at the centre of this market. Our ROSI partnership enables up to 95% material recovery from end-of-life panels, and our in-house facility handles safe dismantling of BESS, EV chargers, and high voltage equipment with full regulatory compliance and traceability.
Book a Collection TodayOur ROSI partnership enables recovery of silver, silicon, and high-purity glass from end-of-life solar panels at levels suitable for reuse in PV manufacturing.
Safe dismantling and treatment of battery storage systems, inverters, EV chargers, and high voltage equipment at our licensed in-house facility.
From single-panel collections to complete solar farm clearances. Our fleet includes everything from vans to articulated lorries for large-scale projects.
Materials recovered from renewable energy waste are fed back into manufacturing supply chains. Real circular economy outcomes, not just compliance boxes ticked.

Explainer
The renewable energy industry exists to reduce environmental impact. The waste it produces should be managed to the same standard. We bring specialist knowledge of the waste streams unique to renewables. PV panels are classified as WEEE and must be processed through authorised channels. High voltage equipment carries serious electrical and fire risks if mishandled. Lithium-ion batteries from BESS and EV systems require fire-safe storage and ADR-compliant transport. Our ROSI partnership recovers materials at purity levels suitable for reuse in solar manufacturing, genuinely closing the loop. As a Certified B Corporation, we share the values that drive the sector. Full Duty of Care documentation is provided with every collection.
Solar farm operators with ground-mounted installations from the early 2010s now reaching decommission, PV installers managing returns and storm-damaged panel collections, renewable energy developers overseeing end-of-life BESS and inverter replacement programmes, EV charging network operators with growing volumes of charger waste, and wind farm operators and energy storage contractors handling complex high-voltage equipment disposal.
End-of-life solar panels (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film), Battery energy storage systems (BESS), EV chargers and charging infrastructure, Inverters and power conversion units, High voltage control systems and switchgear, Cables, connectors, and mounting infrastructure, Wind turbine electrical components, Associated hazardous materials (electrolytes, coolants)
We keep every waste stream fully compliant with clear Duty of Care, the right routes, and audit-ready paperwork.
When recycling is fragmented, time gets eaten by chasing suppliers and paperwork. A single, end-to-end solution simplifies collections, documentation, and billing across sites.
UK-wide coverage and planned collections help keep sites tidy, reduce disruption, and stop waste from becoming a storage problem.
Centralised reporting (weights, streams, documents + saving CO2 data) makes ESG, audits, and internal reviews far easier.
