Solar panel recycling Melbourne jobs go smoothly when the installer's removal date and our collection are planned together.
The problem
Your installer sets the replacement date, but the old panels still need somewhere to go. We can't book a collection on the assumption that the roof work will be done. Intact panels, broken ones and batteries from the same array may each need different handling.
What Crex does
-
Tell us about the panels. Send the count, size, condition, label photos and weight if known. List cables, inverters or batteries separately.
-
Line up with your installer. Your installer disconnects and removes the panels, then stacks and straps them on pallets. Tell us when and where they'll be ready.
-
We collect. We agree truck access, forklift and inductions, then collect. If panels are damaged during removal, send photos first.
What we take
What we handle
Solar panel recycling Melbourne: what we take
Retired panels from businesses, ready on pallets.
-
Panels from commercial replacements, equipment changes and business stock.
-
Intact panels, with a count, sizes and label photos.
-
Damaged panels, once we've seen photos.
-
Panels stacked and strapped on pallets by your installer.
-
Cables and leads, listed separately from the panels.
-
Lead-acid batteries, which need their own disconnection and collection plan.
-
Metal from a wider decommission, described separately.
There's no set minimum, so small batches are fine. Don't break panels down to save space.

What we don't handle
- Roof work and electrical disconnection. That is your installer's job.
- Home or commercial battery systems from solar setups.
- Broken panels and unknown parts on an intact-panel quote. Send photos if anything changes during removal.
Two ways to run it
Project collection
We collect from site once your installer has the panels ready. For staged projects, tell us about each batch before it's collected.
Bring them to Braeside
Bring prepared panels to us on a weekday by arrangement. We send the yard address when you book. Your installer's roof and electrical work stays separate either way.
Melbourne service areas
Across Melbourne, Victoria, we assess collections in Braeside, Moorabbin, Dandenong South, Clayton, Mulgrave, Bayswater, Laverton and Campbellfield. Include your suburb, loading route, induction requirements and preferred window in the scope request. Collection dates follow acceptance of the material and the access plan.
