Sell Scrap Solar Panels & Inverters

Upgrading your commercial or residential renewable energy system? Don't let old solar panels, broken inverters, and dead batteries clutter your space. As 's dedicated electronic waste and scrap metal recycling centre, we pay strong, market-related prices by same-day EFT for all scrap solar equipment. This page explains our current payout rates, the types of non-ferrous metals we recover, and how to safely turn your unwanted solar components into profit while maintaining full environmental compliance.

Quick Facts: Recycling Solar Equipment (2026)

• Average Scrap Payouts: R8 to R177 per kg, depending on the material grade and base metal market fluctuations.
• Metals Accepted: Aluminium mounting frames, copper wiring, stainless steel fasteners, and internal brass fittings.
• Legal Requirements: Fully compliant with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations for e-waste disposal.
• Service Areas: and the greater industrial nodes.
• Payment Methods: Instant EFT for all weighed, verified, and processed scrap materials.

Maximizing Returns on Solar E-Waste

A large amount of scrap solar equipment comes from commercial property upgrades and engineering workshops in industrial areas like. As renewable energy systems age, solar installers and property managers are frequently left with bulky, obsolete equipment, which is the perfect time to sell your scrap metal to us.

Scrap solar panels and power inverters contain highly valuable non-ferrous metals—specifically silver, copper, and aluminium—that can be efficiently recovered and reintroduced into the manufacturing supply chain. However, they also house hazardous materials such as lead, silicon, and cadmium. We safely dismantle these units at our yard, neutralizing environmental hazards while paying you a premium for the recovered metals.

Common Types of Solar Scrap Metal Recycled

Sorting your electronic waste before you sell your e-waste and computer scrap to our yard significantly increases your payout. We process a wide variety of materials extracted from end-of-life solar installations:

• Clean copper scrap: Bright wire, PV connection cables, and stripped inverter coils.
• Aluminium scrap: Extruded solar mounting rails, brackets, and panel frames.
• Ferrous and non-ferrous metals: Steel structural supports and brass grounding components.
• Electronic boards: Motherboards and control panels from hybrid inverters.
• Stainless steel: Weather-resistant industrial fasteners and roof hooks.

How Much Is Scrap Solar Equipment Worth?

Prices fluctuate based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and local demand. Clean copper wiring extracted from solar installations typically sells for between R105 and R177 per kilogram. If you are selling complete, unstripped inverters or damaged panels, payouts are calculated based on the mixed metal weight of the unit.

Solar Battery Recycling

Solar energy storage systems degrade over time. Warehouses and logistics hubs in Gosforth Park frequently replace bulk battery banks, generating significant heavy metal scrap. Scrap deep-cycle and gel solar batteries generally fetch between R10 and R15 per kilogram at our yard, in line with current lithium and solar battery prices.

We buy your scrap solar batteries directly at our yard, making sure toxic battery acid is neutralized and heavy metals are securely contained. We purchase lead-acid, deep-cycle gel, and modern lithium-ion (LiFePO4) backup batteries, provided casings are largely intact to prevent environmental contamination during transit.

Commercial Compliance and B2B Scrap Solutions

For commercial solar installers and commercial businesses, managing electronic waste requires strict adherence to national environmental policies. Partnering with our registered recycling centre provides distinct corporate advantages:

• EPR Regulatory Compliance: We provide necessary documentation to prove your e-waste was diverted from municipal landfills, helping you avoid compliance penalties.
• Smart Inverter Data Destruction: Modern hybrid inverters store Wi-Fi credentials and operational network data. We utilize rigorous data destruction protocols prior to the metal recycling process to protect your privacy.
• Transparent Weighing: You have direct sight of our calibrated scales, ensuring accurate payouts when you sell your aluminium and copper scrap.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer collection for bulk solar equipment?

Yes. We offer commercial bulk collection services for solar installation companies and industrial sites and the wider. Logistics can be arranged for heavy loads of ferrous metals and battery banks.

What metals do you recover from panels?

The metal recycling process primarily extracts the aluminium scrap used in the panel's outer frame. Microscopic amounts of silver and copper are also recovered from the internal photovoltaic cells, while the protective glass is crushed and repurposed.

Do you buy swollen or damaged lithium solar batteries?

Damaged or swollen lithium-ion batteries pose a severe fire hazard. We do accept them, but we require clients to contact us beforehand with photographs. We will advise on safe transport protocols and secure handling before you deliver them to our yard.

Convert End-of-Life Energy Systems Into Working Capital

Whether you are a local homeowner clearing out a garage or a national solar contractor seeking a compliant e-waste partner, we provide efficient and transparent metal buying services. We turn discarded renewable technology into reliable revenue.
