Services for Business and Government

Overview

Did you know? By 2033, Australia will have accumulated 1 million tonnes of solar panel waste—enough to circle the Earth three times. Without a plan for end-of-life management, your solar systems could become part of this growing problem, undermining the very sustainability goals they were installed to achieve.

The Challenge Facing Solar System Owners

Many businesses and Government agencies adopt solar systems to meet carbon reduction and renewable energy targets, but few consider the end-of-life impact. Without a circular approach, businesses face:

• Growing waste liabilities and risks for decommissioning solar systems.
• Missed opportunities to achieve circular economy targets.
• Pressure from clients, investors, and stakeholders to uphold sustainability commitments.

Without action, the solar waste crisis could impact your sustainability credentials and financial outcomes. But there’s a way forward.

The challenge lies in the complexity of achieving circular economy goals. Businesses and Governments must navigate supply chains, coordinate with recyclers, and measure performance—tasks that are time-consuming, costly, and difficult to manage.

The risk of doing nothing? Solar panel waste erodes your progress toward net zero and damages stakeholder trust.

Transform the Solar Panel Waste Challenge Into a Circular Economy Opportunity

At Second Life Solar, we simplify the process, offering a range of circular solar solutions that help you meet multiple sustainability goals in a single project.

Here’s how we help:

• Waste Management: We handle the logistics of recycling old panels, coordinating transportation and working with approved recyclers so you don’t have to.
• Reuse: Panels still in working condition are tested using CSIRO-backed technology and provided with a performance warranty, ensuring they’re reused rather than wasted.
• Sustainability Reporting: Our solutions enable businesses to meet net zero, renewable energy, and circular economy targets, with results you can confidently promote to stakeholders.  (For NSW Government Agencies you can also achieve your WaSM targets.)
• Financial Flexibility: No upfront capital is needed. Through leasing options, you start saving from day one—lease costs are lower than energy savings.

With Second Life Solar, you’ll move from a reactive waste management approach to a proactive circular solution that:

• Reduces waste, strengthens sustainability credentials, and demonstrates circular economy leadership.
• Saves time and simplifies operations by managing the logistics for you.
• Generates financial returns from reusable panels and reduces energy costs.
