Millions of Solar Panels Are Heading to Landfills

The solar industry has a waste problem few are talking about. The United States installed over 100 gigawatts of solar capacity in the last decade — and the first wave of those panels is now reaching end-of-life.

Most solar panels contain cadmium, lead, and other hazardous materials classified as toxic waste in many states. When improperly disposed of, these materials leach into soil and groundwater — yet millions of panels are landfilled every year.

By 2030, the U.S. is projected to generate over 1 million metric tons of solar panel waste annually. Without proper infrastructure, this becomes an environmental and regulatory crisis.

Cadmium & lead in panels classified as toxic in many states

Solar panels CAN be recycled. Glass, aluminum frames, silicon cells, and precious metals like silver can all be recovered and reused — keeping toxic materials out of the ground and raw materials in the supply chain.

Trusted by Solar Professionals

We had an 85 MW site to decommission and honestly weren't sure who could handle a job that size. Repurpose Solar showed up with the crews, the trucks, and all the paperwork buttoned up. Made our lives a lot easier.

Westline Energy Partners
Tucson, AZ

12,000 panels coming off a repower, and we needed them gone fast. These guys mobilized within days and took care of the recycling from start to finish — no loose ends.

M. Castellano, Project Manager
Fresno, CA

We've worked with them on three sites now, somewhere around 40 MW of old modules total. Fair pricing, good people, and the documentation always comes back clean for our ESG reporting.
