How to handle solar 'salvage'?

Options

Hello,

Some buildings near me have been bought by the council and are scheduled for dereliction.

They have nominally agreed to let me take the panels for a local school solar project, however, there are two main issues that we need to resolve:

  1. Liability for any issues resulting from the use of the panels.
  2. Fulfilling their waste management requirements vis. 'disposing' of the panels.

I'm planning to involve a professional solar installation company to remove / refit the panels and I guess they will be able to help with both of the above, but any information on the above would be very useful!

All the best,
Peter

    1. If it's a school project, then the school should have appropriate insurance in place.
    2. Ask the school what their policies are.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
