Increasing changes in weather conditions like up-surged global temperature, pollution, population explosion, and economic backwardness being the major problems faced by our society in the present century. The natural resources have been exploited to their peek by the increasing population. Emerging industries and enhancement of lifestyle of people across the globe have further exhausted the conventional sources of energy with mother Earth being in its usual form. The growing taste of urbanization and modernization in developing countries is causing major repercussions for the environment and energy sector. The requirement of energy and its associated amenities indulges humankind into the blooming of social, economic, and health benefits. To meet these requirements the necessity of renewable energy sources was emphasized. With the ubiquitous presence of the Sun, solar energy proved to be an inexpensive and versatile source of energy. A further provision of government subsidies the solar photovoltaic power bloomed across the world. Using the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach, an in-depth study of the various inputs and outputs in a solar PV 166system is studied. Though with increasing agitation in climate perturbed a sustainable and greener route to decrease the greenhouse gaseous emissions is mandatory. The use of renewable sources of energy in a clever mode will be bringing drastic changes in the improvement of energy issues in a greener way. The clean and green way of renewable energy resources has to be applied in every niche of the world. Solar energy proved to be a major contributor to this task. The governmental initiative of more PV installations is leading to a macroscopic proliferation of solar photovoltaic waste accumulation in the country, which has become the utmost issue of the hour to be handled by PV scarp management and recycling policy. Existing PV technologies will be evaluated and their effects on the environment, human health, social and economic aspects will be analyzed in depth. Major PV module recycling methods are evaluated and the material recovery in economic terms is recorded. With the sky rocking PV scrap, India is obligate for inclination towards the PV recycling policy framework. The main focus of the present work is towards the effective remedy of the environmental and socio-economic impact arising in the life cycle assessment of c-Si, CdTe, CdS, and CIGS. A sustainable policy is to be put forward to potentially tackle the upcoming problems from the PV waste generation and accumulation. |
