A Review of Solar Photovoltaic Power Utilizations in India and Impacts of Segregation and Safe Disposal of Toxic Components from Retired Solar Panels

Environmental impacts of electricity production through nonrenewable sources are greatly reduced by solar energy PV cells. The use as an alternative to conventional methods is about increase tenfold the year 2050. This considerably increases number cell wastes for which recycling processes confronted with various issues due presence hazardous materials like Al, lead, chromium, glass, silver, and ethylene vinyl. Different approaches disposal segregation these mechanical, thermal, chemical means investigated in this review work. Since many countries have begun implement mechanisms deal destruction (photovoltaic) panels, evaluation will concentrate on existing procedures. Existing landfilling, open dumping, regulations policies retired panel were discussed.
