Do not attempt electrical isolation or roof removal for collection purposes. Have the appropriate qualified people complete that work.

Solar Panel Collection in Sydney
Understand how to prepare removed solar panels for collection in Sydney: safe removal first, count, visible condition, ground staging and access details.
Quick answer
ReSova can scope collection for eligible solar panels once they have been safely removed by qualified people and are ready for a ground-level handover in Sydney or selected NSW areas. A panel-only request needs a count, broad visible condition, staging location and vehicle-access details. The collection does not guarantee a recycling rate, reuse outcome, price, time or named receiving facility.
Quantity and condition
Give the approximate panel count and broad visible condition; disclose damage or any special handling context.
Staging and access
Keep the batch at a protected, accessible ground-level location and explain the vehicle/loading route.
Collection context
Panel-only collection starts with what is actually ready
A solar panel can look intact, cracked or mixed with other equipment, but collection planning should not guess the downstream result from appearance alone. The useful first distinction is whether the panel has been safely removed, can be counted and can be handed over without re-entering a roof or live electrical work area.
Panel collection preparation
These are practical collection inputs. They do not replace electrical, safety, contractual or legal obligations that may apply to a particular site.
Decision framework
Make the scope match the job
| Panel context | What to provide | What not to assume |
|---|---|---|
| Intact-looking removed panels | Count, broad condition and accessible staging location. | That they will be reused or accepted into a particular pathway. |
| Damaged or mixed panels | Describe the visible condition and any access / containment constraint before booking. | That all damage has the same handling or downstream route. |
| Large or complex batch | Panel count, site access, related components and the project contact. | That a standard online pathway covers every project. |
Accessible process
From removed panels to collection handover
Safe removal
Qualified people disconnect and remove the panels before collection is considered.
Count the batch
Record an approximate number of panels and broad visible condition.
Stage at ground level
Use an accessible, protected point that does not rely on roof work or live electrical access.
Confirm standard or tailored scope
10–69 eligible panels can follow the online estimate path; 70+ or complex work requires a tailored scope.
Collection record
Eligible panels are counted at handover and recorded on a job docket.
