Policies and Measures for Life Cycle Assessment of Solar Photovoltaic Modules and their Environmental Issues

Abstract

The increasing waste produced by the photovoltaic industry is of major concern as the newlinefield of renewable energy grows. With solar energy resources having a prominent role, newlineover 500 GW of installed solar capacity exists worldwide and is anticipated to increase newlineto 5000 GW by 2050. Given the predicted life lifetime of 25 years, this extraordinary newlinedevelopment is estimated to produce enormous solar waste. While current solar newlineresearch trends focus on increasing efficiency, the disposal of broken-down solar power newlinepanels is given significance. Recycling is an alternative, but only a small number of newlinebusinesses can manage it effectively. newlineThe technologies used in the field to look after this issue with the maintenance of newlineenvironmental preservation, resource availability, and resource recycling are covered newlinein this research. If solar waste is not adequately recycled, it will be there in 60 million newlinetons by 2050. The view offers a thorough analysis of the different technical elements newlineof waste management, environmental protection, and recycling and recovery of solar newlinepanel waste. The economics of recycling solar energy includes its effects upon health, newlineenvironment. Further the policies are examined to insist that toxic-free technologies newlinemay be developed in the future. newlineMany sectors and corporations have begun to examine the environmental effect of their newlineproducts. LCA, or life cycle assessment, is one such method used for this. It takes into newlineaccount all aspects of the environment, human health, and resources. It is a process for newlineexamining and measuring the environmental implications of a material, product, or newlineservice over the course of its full life cycle. Endorsed by the bureaucratic undertaking newlineand declining expenses, solar firms are thriving promptly in India and around the world. newlineAt the initial stages of their wheel of life, PV panels account for no ambiance spoliation. newlineDisplacement of conventional energy sources to solar power photovoltaic installations newlinehas burst forth solar photovoltaic waste volume.
