Expeditious evolution of solar photovoltaic industry has triggered transformation in energy sector across the world. After the concluded durability of the PV panels amount of junk originates. This junk is directed into the category of solid waste. With the increasing solar power plant installations in India the amount of waste to be accumulated in the nearby years to come will be a matter of grave concern. Hasty action should be taken by the Indian policy makers and other non-governmental agencies to process the solar photovoltaic recycling policies at commercial level in an economically sustainable manner. This paper inspects the prospective requisite of PV reprocessing legislation by investigating the current reprocessing arrangements of the commercialized first and second generation solar PV materials. Emphasis is also laid on the hazardous effects of the waste on human body. Quantity of reclaimed material is considered and its economic importance is analysed. Architectural liability is put at the utmost front for curbing out the havoc to be created by piling up of the junk photovoltaic materials through economically feasible policy framework. Through this article effective solar PV reclaiming policy framework is proposed for the Indian government which will foster new socio-economic, environmental and employment opportunities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
