Frequently Asked Questions
Are used solar inverters worth anything?
Yes, and in fact, how much your used solar inverters are worth may surprise you.
In general, used solar inverters that are still functional and are less than ten years old can be worth a significant sum of money. A used 10-kW solar inverter from a well-known brand could still be worth several thousand dollars.
The value of a used solar inverter will depend on a number of factors: brand, age, model, condition, market demand, and so on.
Before attempting to sell your used solar inverter, you might want to consider the following:
- Condition: if the inverter is still fully functional (or at least functioning well enough) and has been properly maintained, it’s likely to have more value.
- Compatibility: older inverters may no longer be compatible with newer solar panels, batteries, or grid requirements. This can lower their resale value.
- Brand and model: solar inverters from reputable brands and/or well-known models may hold a higher resale value.
- Warranty transfer: if the manufacturer of the inverter allows the warranty to be transferred to new owners, it can increase the value.
- Documentation: if the documentation, such as installation guides, user’s manual, and maintenance records, are still complete, it can increase the inverter’s resale value.
- Local regulations: there may be regulations, laws, or requirements related to selling used inverters (or electrical equipment in general) in your location.
- Testing and inspection: consider having the inverter inspected and tested by a professional to verify its condition. They may also be able to give you an estimate of its value.

How do I sell my used solar inverters?
- Assess the condition: inspect the solar inverter to check whether it is in good condition.
- Clean and prepare the inverter: clean the inverter thoroughly to maintain its visual appeal. Be careful not to damage the inverter while cleaning.
- Research and pricing: research the market (i.e., by browsing online marketplaces) to determine the current resale value of your used inverter. Look for similar models with similar conditions to get an idea of pricing. You can use this information to set a competitive price for your solar inverter.
- Documentation: gather any relevant documentation such as installation guides, manuals, maintenance records, etc. Not a must, but having complete documentation can increase your inverter’s resale value.
- Listing the inverters or contacting potential buyers: choose a platform to list your solar inverters for sale, or contact a specialized solar equipment reseller/recycler like Solar Recycling Company™️. Make sure to create an informative, concise, and clear listing with detailed descriptions like specifications, conditions, features, etc.
- Quality photos: take high-quality photos of the solar inverter from various angles. Take photos of serial numbers or physical defects (if any), so you can provide honest information for potential buyers. Clear and well-taken photos can help potential buyers assess the condition of the solar inverter.
- Communication: be prepared to answer questions and inquiries from potential buyers, and make sure to answer promptly. Provide any information they may need.
- Negotiation and sale: be ready for potential negotiations on the price. Be flexible, but know the limit of how much the price you’ll consider as fair. Once you agree on a price, discuss shipping or pickup options while arranging payment.
- Shipping or pickup: if shipping is required, make sure to package the inverters securely. Make sure to use appropriate packaging and consider paying for insurance. If your buyer is near enough, it’s recommended to coordinate a convenient and safe pickup location.
- Transfer of ownership: provide any necessary paperwork or documentation for proper transfer of ownership.
Is selling used solar inverters hard?
The difficulty of selling solar inverters can vary depending on several factors, including but not limited to market demand, compatibility, condition, pricing, and others. You should especially consider the following:
- Age and condition: older solar inverters, or those that are in poor condition, tend to be harder to sell.
- Market demand: if there’s high market demand for used solar inverters in your location, it should be easier to sell the used inverter and for a good price.
- The selling method: selling your used inverters by yourself, for example, by listing them on online marketplaces like eBay, can be time-consuming and difficult. Yet, selling it to a specialist solar company will be much easier.
However, in most cases, selling used solar inverters should be manageable with the right approach. Make sure to research the market, accurately provide enough information, and price them competitively, so you can sell the solar inverter faster and easier.
