Popis: With the growing population, the energy demands are heightened around the globe. Displacement of conventional energy sources to solar power photovoltaic installations has burst forth solar photovoltaic waste volume to around 1.8 million tons by 2050. Hence a crucial need is to enhance the photovoltaic recycling method to vast industry level. Economically established countries like China, UK, and Japan now have formulated their solar photovoltaic recycling policies while India still needs to shape its solar photovoltaic recycling policy. Inspite of the increasing PV installations, recycling of solar photovoltaic waste presents a supreme and uncommonly platform of recovering valuable materials from the PV waste, and harboring the recycling industry to large scale across the world. This paper also targets the apparently popping up environmental, social, and economic influence of the life span accomplishment of C-Si, GaAs, GaInP, CIGS. To potentially tackle the above-mentioned complications a novel policy framework is proposed for the Indian government to administer.
