Many panels in use today are nearing the end of their typical 25 years lifespan. When solar panels are no longer efficient or become damaged, proper disposal is essential. In California, some PV panels are classified as hazardous due to panels containing toxic elements like lead, cadmium, or other heavy metals. That’s why it’s critical to partner with a certified team like PV Solar Recycling.
We help California businesses avoid improper disposal by offering streamlined collection and recycling of used PV panels, inverters, and batteries. Our process complies with state standards for hazardous materials and electrical waste, ensuring your company remains environmentally and legally compliant.
California has implemented some of the most advanced solar energy policies in the United States, driving large-scale adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems across businesses and public infrastructure.
While these regulations have made the state a leader in renewable energy, they also establish strict requirements for the disposal and recycling of solar panels.
Under current California law, many solar panels are classified as universal waste due to the presence of hazardous materials such as heavy metals and other toxic substances. Improper disposal of these materials is not only environmentally harmful—it is also a violation of state environmental regulations.
To address this, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has issued specific guidelines for managing solar panels containing toxic components, requiring that end-of-life equipment be handled only by certified recyclers.
By following state guidelines and partnering with PV Solar Recycling, businesses can remain fully compliant and contribute to a cleaner, more responsible energy future.
