Full-Service Solar Panel Recycling and Zero Waste

Our Recycling Solution
Comstock Metals has set the standard for solar panel recycling: no waste, no landfilled materials, and clean recycled products safe for reuse. We are a full-service solar recycler giving peace of mind to power generators knowing their panels are truly recycled, making us the preferred recycling destination for America's end of life solar panels.

We recover 100% of the useful materials from every solar panel, every time.

We never resell or repair any solar panels: we only recycle them. This means peace of mind knowing all solar panels are responsibly recycled.

The Comstock Process

Our proprietary solar panel recycling process eliminates the downstream liability associated with solar recycling by ensuring no material ever goes to landfill or is improperly reused.

  1. Decommissioning & Transport
  2. Panel Processing
  3. Material Recovery & Separation
  4. Materials Reintroduced To Supply Chains

The Comstock process produces aluminum flakes, glass pearls, and metal tailings that are safely reintroduced into industrial supply chains. We operate a one-of-a-kind recycling system that is engineered and fabricated right here in the United States of America.

  • Aluminum flakes Aluminum flakes
  • Glass pearls Glass pearls
  • Metal tailings Metal tailings

Full Service End-of-Life Solar Material Management

We safely manage all end-of-life materials for solar projects as part of our full-service decommissioning, re-energization, and recycling solution.

Sustainable Solar Panel Recycling: Zero Landfill Guaranteed

  • Comstock's proprietary recycling process recovers all the panel materials in clean form without sending anything to landfill or adversely affecting the environment.
  • We certify to every customer that we never send solar material to landfill or reintroduce recycled products that could adversely affect our environment.
  • Our recycling process allows us to safely recycle all types of solar panels (including thin film) in any condition.

Solar Panel Decommissioning and Field Services

  • We are a full service end-of-life solution providing: decommissioning, removal, repowering, palletization, banding, loading, transportation, logistics, and site restoration services.
  • Our demonstrated expertise in solar panel removals, repowering, and loading ensures safe handling at each stage of the project lifecycle.
  • Our single-provider model is purpose-built for utility-scale portfolios, eliminating multi-vendor coordination across decommissioning, logistics, and certified recycling

Real Solar Panel Recycling No Landfill, No Waste

  • Comstock's process is the only way to ensure that all materials can be recovered safely and effectively.
  • Without Comstock, the adhesive layers stick to the recycled materials forcing a portion to be landfilled, stockpiled, or exported overseas for disposal.
  • Most recyclers remove the aluminum frame, shred the rest of the panel, and send it downstream. That is not real recycling.
  • Comstock Metals is real recycling. Contact a team member to schedule a site visit and see first hand how we certify zero landfill and full material reusability.

Environmental Compliance and Full Recycling Traceability

  • We provide certified environmental and compliance reporting to confirm that all solar panels are recycled to the highest standards under the R2v3 Appendix A, E, and G protocol.
  • Each customer receives a Certificate of Destruction certifying all panels we received were recycled into one of three recycled materials, and that no material was sent to landfill.
  • Custom compliance and recycling documentation is available upon request. We welcome facility audits at any time.

R2v3 and RIOS Certified Solar Panel Recycling

Verified clean for downstream reuse of recycled materials.

Our recycling process was audited and certified to the most stringent standards designed specifically for solar recycling: R2v3 / RIOS.

  • Comstock Metals is the first dedicated solar panel recycler to achieve R2v3 certification (Appendix A, E & G). Our goal is to set the global standard for solar panel recycling; this certification was a great first step in doing so.

  • We recycle 100% of every panel we receive, converting each solar panel into new materials safe for reintroduction into the domestic supply chain. We do not resell or repair panels; we only recycle them.

  • Unlike other R2v3 certified companies, Comstock Metals was engineered specifically for solar panel recycling, recovering all the panel materials and ensuring zero material goes to waste or is landfilled.
