Free solar battery collection, anywhere in mainland England and Wales
Solar battery collection comes with every unit we buy. You don't pay to have it taken away, because we're buying it from you.
An independent buyer. Not affiliated with, or endorsed by, GivEnergy, Tesla or any other manufacturer.
Collected free, anywhere in mainland England and Wales
We run collections from our Bradford and London bases. From anywhere else, you can drop your kit off at either base, by appointment.
Bradford
Our northern base, near the top of the M606.
London
Our southern base, near Twickenham.
Islands, and the border with Scotland
Anglesey counts, and so does any island you can drive onto over a bridge or a causeway. An island you can only reach by ferry doesn't.
We don't collect from Scotland or Northern Ireland either. You can still sell to us from any of those places by bringing the kit to a base.
The form tells you as soon as you enter a postcode we don't reach, or one on the border that we need to check first.
Collection within 7 days of booking
Usually it's within 24 hours. We agree the day with you by email once you've said yes to the written offer.
If you're selling a working GivEnergy battery, the remote check comes before the collection day.
For a Powerwall we need the Tesla app screenshots instead.
The six low-voltage packs, drawn to scale
Each one is on our list of GivEnergy battery sizes, with what tells them apart.
Inverters, Gateways and All in Ones, to the same scale
The form asks "Where is it fitted, and how do we get to it?" Tell us about a loft hatch, a flight of stairs or a long walk from the road. We plan the day from your answer.
A 9.5 Gen 2 on a garage wall with a level path to the drive is about as easy as it gets.
The Powerwalls we buy, to the same scale
Our engineer isolates the system and makes it safe
Nothing comes off the wall until the system is isolated and safe. Then our engineer removes the kit you're selling, and only that.
If you'd like us to tell your network operator the kit has gone, ask and we will. If a new system is going in, its own application to the network operator usually covers it.
Please don't take it off the wall yourself
A low-voltage GivEnergy pack runs at 51.2 V DC with real fault current behind it. A high-voltage stack runs well above that, and an All in One at around 307 V. Our engineer isolates the system before anything is moved. If your installer has already disconnected it, say so on the form.
Bring it to our base in Bradford or London
Drop-off is by appointment, and anyone can book it. Our Bradford base is near the top of the M606 and our London base is near Twickenham. We don't publish the street address. It comes with your booking.
We pay you by bank transfer before you leave the base.
Collection works the same way for anyone selling in Yorkshire, in the North West or around London, and it's free across mainland England and Wales.
No solar battery disposal cost when we buy it
For the kit we buy, there's nothing to pay to get rid of it. We pay you. That's GivEnergy kit and Tesla Powerwalls for now.
If yours is another make, we can't take it yet.
Say where the kit is
And how we get to it. A photo of the way in helps.
Do you charge to collect a solar battery?
No. We collect the kit we buy for free, anywhere in mainland England and Wales. Our engineer disconnects it on the day, and that's free as well. We're the ones paying. You get the amount you accepted by bank transfer before we leave.

Step 1 of 3
Collection and drop-off
Do I have to pay to dispose of an old solar battery?
Not if it's kit we buy, because we pay you for it instead. Right now that's GivEnergy kit and Tesla Powerwalls. We can't buy other makes yet, so we can't collect them either.
Do you collect from Scotland, Northern Ireland and the islands?
No. Free collection covers mainland England and Wales, including islands joined to it by a road bridge or causeway, such as Anglesey. We don't collect from Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight, the Isles of Scilly or other islands reached only by ferry. You can still sell to us from any of them. Drop the kit at our Bradford or London base, by appointment, and we pay you by bank transfer before you leave the base. A few postcode districts cross the border with Scotland, and for those we check the address with you first.
Can I drop my battery off at one of your bases?
Yes. Anyone can bring kit to our Bradford or London base, by appointment, wherever they live. Once you've accepted your written offer, we book a time by email and send the address with the booking. Have your installer disconnect it before you bring it in. Please don't take it off the wall yourself. We pay you by bank transfer before you leave the base.
Do I need to switch anything off before you arrive?
No. Leave the system as it is. Our engineer isolates it when we arrive and makes it safe before anything comes off the wall. If your installer has already disconnected the kit, tell us on the form.
