Title

Decommissioning Photovoltaic Panels- An Environmental Concern

Authors

Abstract

Solar Energy has emerged as one of the most sustainable alternatives to conventional energy resources like coal, natural gas, oil. Global installation of the photovoltaic panels has reached a capacity of 222 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2015 and is expected to rise further to 4,500 GW by 2050. In India, the total installed capacity has reached 310 GW where the generation of electricity using thermal generation has been 69.4%, hydro electricity generation has been 13.9%, renewable contributed 14.8% to electricity generation and nuclear energy electricity generation was 1.9%.The solar (photovoltaic) panels used in electricity generation have a life span of about 25 years and hence once their life span gets over, their decommissioning adds waste to the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Waste management and end of life disposal of PV panels is emerging as a pre-emptive measure to counter the e waste to be generated by the PV panels in the coming decades. This paper estimates the requirement of decommissioning of the photovoltaic and end of life recycling of the PV panels.
