Power it down then pack it up
Dismantling and removal of a solar array and any solar energy system infrastructure -- ground-mount, canopy, carport or roof-mount -- is a construction project complicated by regulatory compliance, order of operations, worker safety and disposition of all components.
Whether the solar energy system is being replaced with a newer, more efficient system or the site is to be permanently demobilized and cleared, our goal is to ensure that the scope of work is 100% delivered.
Does your solar array qualify for value recovery?
The solar PV decommissioning process
Working with the onsite point of contact, Commercial Solar Panel Recycling follows a process to safely and securely remove all parts of the solar energy system as scoped. For sites that are being prepared for a reinstall, we work with you to determine reuse options and your goals for final roof, structure or ground preparation. Insurance claims will be processed in accordance with policy.
