Solar panel recycling in Georgia
CompuPoint USA recycles end-of-life crystalline silicon solar panels on our own dedicated processing line, Solar 4.0, at our facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
Every panel is processed in-house. We separate each panel into its component materials and send each one to a qualified buyer or processor.
What we accept
| We accept | We don't accept |
| Crystalline silicon modules, monofacial and bifacial, framed or frameless: monocrystalline and polycrystalline | Thin-film modules (CdTe, CIGS) |
| Broken, cracked, damaged and decommissioned panels | Panels for resale or reuse — we recycle only |
Not sure about your panels? Send us the manufacturer and model numbers and we'll confirm before you ship. Send now!
What happens to your panels
Receiving and inspection
Each load is weighed, logged and checked against the accepted-module list.
Dismantling
Aluminum frames, junction boxes and cables are removed.
Processing on Solar 4.0
The laminate is separated into glass, a silicon and silver-bearing powder, and plastic backsheet and encapsulant.
Downstream recovery
Aluminum and copper go to metal recyclers, glass to glass processors, and the silicon and silver powder to an approved smelter for metal recovery.
Documentation
You receive a certificate of recycling with weights for each load.
Who we work with
Utility-scale solar farm owners and operators, EPC contractors and developers, commercial and residential installers, manufacturers and distributors with damaged stock, and recycling aggregators.
