While India’s solar power capacity is increasing, the country does not have a proper policy on managing the waste that is being generated from solar panels and its manufacturing process.
In India, solar waste is sold as scrap.
It can lead to the increase of solar e-waste if proper recycling is not done.
In Gummidipoondi, Tamil Nadu, a private firm facility has been set up for the purpose of recovering solar e-waste recycling and recovery.
