• We accept all types of panels from all types of generators, including collectors: Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline, Thin Film, Bifacial, Concentrator (CPV), and Double Glass. We also accept First Solar panels.  
• From your project to our facility, we prioritize safe and compliant management of your end-of-life solar panels, and we can facilitate full-service decommissioning and transportation. 

• We are cost competitive as compared to alternative universal waste disposal methods, including landfills. We are full-service and can provide decommissioning and transportation. 
• Solar panels, like most electrification products, are characterized by laminated systems. Our unique thermal process removes uncertainty by safely eliminating all potential contaminates found in glue and plastic laminates in every solar panel. By delaminating as Step 1 in our process, we can safely recover all recoverable materials.  
• Recovered materials contain 0% glue or plastic laminates: 
  • Metal flakes go to conventional metal recycling. 
  • Ground glass goes to a conventional bottle recycler. 
  • The 3rd and 4th cuts are of different particle sizes that contain metal oxides, and they go to smelters to have the component metals recovered. 
• We ensure no part of the solar panel goes to landfills during our process.  

End-of-life solar panels come from removing a solar panel system, installation breakage, regular maintenance, or damage replacements and landfills. And they come to us from throughout the U.S., including Hawaii and Canada. 

Sources include (i) utilities, (ii) O&M Groups, (iii) environmental consulting and engineering groups, (iv) collectors – aggregators, (v) installers/contractors, and (vi) municipalities, community groups, and other local organizations. 

• We recover 100% of recoverable materials from each solar panel recycled.  
• We eliminate potential contaminates in glue and plastic laminates prior to material recovery and further processing or reuse. 
• Our facility is regionally close to the largest clusters (90%+) of recurring solar panel waste volume in the United States. 
• We are rapidly scaling up both storage and recycling capacity to meet the needs of our customers and the fast-growing volume of decommissioned solar panels in the Southwestern U.S. and beyond. 
• As your end-of-life solar panel recycling partner, we can enhance tangible ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) performance in a compliant, reliable, and customer-centric manner. 

Comstock Metals charges cost competitive up-front tipping fees based on unique customer waste profile volume and transport needs.
