Think & Discuss
India’s Solar Waste Challenge: Are We Ready for Circular Economy?
Context from today’s quiz: The launch of SUNRISE (Solar Upcycling Network for Recycling, Innovation & Stakeholder Engagement) at the 8th ISA Assembly highlights a growing concern—what happens to solar panels at the end of their 25-30 year lifespan? India aims to reach 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030, which will eventually generate millions of tonnes of solar waste.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters

- What role should Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) play in the solar industry, similar to e-waste regulations?
- Could solar waste recycling become a new employment sector, especially in rural areas where many solar farms are located?
