- According to a report prepared by the National Solar Energy Federation of India, India could generate over 34,600 tonnes of cumulative solar waste by 2030.
- Solar waste is the electronic waste generated by discarded solar panels.
- The two most popular module technologies in India are crystallized silicon (C-Si) and thin-film (mainly cadmium telluride), with 93 and 7% market shares respectively.
- Both the technologies have a recovery rate of 85-90%.
- But the large cost gap between recycling and discarding panels in landfills is the reason why it is not recycled enough.
