Get Started

Supplied over 250 MW of solar panels for repowering, decommissioned over 175 MW of ESS batteries and remarketed over 400 MW of new surplus BESS containers.

  • Replacement solar panels are additional new/used panels that keep existing solar installations running. They become necessary due to age or damage to the installed panels.

  • Bluewater sources replacement panels from major manufacturers including Astronergy, Canadian Solar, First Solar, Jinko, Longi, Trina Solar, and others, ensuring compatibility with existing systems while maintaining performance standards.

  • Compatible replacement solar panels match the rest of the system for dimensions, mounting holes, and voltages as close as possible.

  • Using replacement solar panels extend solar farm lifetime by not disrupting the power output for which the farms were designed.  The farm can keep running without the disruption of installing a replacement of all panels, racking, piling, cables, wires, and inverters.

  • You can sell new or used surplus solar panels to Bluewater. We manage the logistics, and ensure your panels are resold, reused, or recycled responsibly.

  • Bluewater sells surplus, overstock and bulk replacement solar panels. We help solar farms and commercial customers source high-quality solar panels by pallet, providing effective solutions for small, medium and large-scale solar projects.

  • Solar plant repowering involves upgrading or replacing aging and damaged solar panels, inverters, or other equipment to improve the efficiency and output of an existing solar power system. Bluewater specializes in solar repowering solutions, helping you prolong its useful lifetime.

  • Replacement panels are carefully matched to work seamlessly with existing solar installations by considering voltage requirements, physical dimensions, and mounting compatibility to maintain the system performance.

  • Replacement solar panels reduce maintenance costs by keeping the existing system running as designed, minimizing costs.  New panels involve training, design and other unnecessary costs.

  • Key features include matching dimensions, voltage and reliability. Bluewater works with top-quality products from manufacturers like Trina Solar, Longi, First Solar and many others in utility-scale applications.

  • Replacement panels are ideally new Tier 1 panels.  Used panels are considered only if no other options are available.

  • Bluewater has developed a database with over 11,000 solar panels sorted by dimensions and voltages. It plugs in the specifications and come up with a list of possible substitutions.  From there we see what is available.

  • Partner with an experienced provider like Bluewater that specializes in custom sourcing replacement panels, ensuring proper specifications, handling logistics, and maintaining regulatory compliance.

  • The best replacement options are the new Tier 1 panels that match original system specifications.

  • To check a solar panel, inspect for visible damage, test output with a multimeter, and review performance data.

"Bluewater Battery Logistics not only managed to source solar system elements matching our unique parameters, including discontinued inverter models, but also handled international shipping and recycling of the old panels. Everything was managed as one project by one team — this is unique in our industry!”
