Abstract
This paper reviews about investigating sustainable recycling and reuse strategies for End-of-Life solar panels in the Indian context. The rapid growth in solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity is expected to generate substantial end-of-life panel waste in the coming years. Combining literature review, material flow analysis and lifecycle assessment we can evaluate the effectiveness of global and Indian recycling practices. Here, we have conducted case studies and comparison between technical and economical methods of mechanical, thermal and chemical recovery process. Policy gap between India’s e-waste and renewable energy regulation are analyzed which directs us to focus on extended producer responsibility, public private partnership and circular economic models. This paper aims to provide actionable insight for policymakers, manufacturers, and recyclers to ensure that India’s solar energy transition is both green and sustainable.
Keywords
