到2047年,印度可能面临1 100万吨的太阳能废物;回收可以减少排放和增加材料供应。 India may face 11 million tonnes of solar waste by 2047; recycling could cut emissions and boost materials supply.

根据中东欧妇女研究中心的研究,到2047年,印度可产生多达1 100万吨的太阳能废物,主要来自退役电池板。 India could generate up to 11 million tonnes of solar waste by 2047, mainly from decommissioned panels, according to CEEW studies. 回收利用这一废物可创造3700千瓦的作物市场,满足38%的太阳能制造材料需求,防止3 700万吨碳排放。 Recycling this waste could create a ₹3,700 crore market, meet 38% of solar manufacturing material needs, and prevent 37 million tonnes of carbon emissions. 目前,回收利用无利可图,因为板块购置成本高,回收者每吨损失10 000至12 000英镑。 Currently, recycling is unprofitable due to high panel acquisition costs, with recyclers losing ₹10,000–12,000 per tonne. 报告建议降低小组价格,实施扩大生产者责任、税收奖励和更好的设计标准,以建立循环型太阳能经济。 The report recommends lowering panel prices, implementing Extended Producer Responsibility, tax incentives, and better design standards to build a circular solar economy.
