Solar Panels/Farms

[mushroom 14,280]

I’m looking to connect with people involved with solar panels and farms in respect to recycling and disposal of broken/old panels/units. We offer free collection and disposal, with waste certificates included, all free of charge.
 

If you’re involved in this or can connect me with people who are please let me know.

Any idea which companies mate? That info is almost as good as an introduction  

To add, smaller companies who install and remove old panels are just as relevant. If they have panels lying around, we can offer disposal and waste certs

I think the solar farms sell off the panels second hand when they are still running at 80% or there about relieving them the need to dispose of the old stuff lot of people on boats buy them

I've got panels going on a bit of rough ground and was wondering the same about impact. The site I found helpful for checking setups and comparing options was https://www.raylyst.eu —they’ve got maps and data that made it easier to figure out what would actually work in my spot without needing to guess too much. Worth a look if you’re trying to plan something similar.
