Solar panels salvaging for safety & sustainability

Abstract

This paper deals with issue causing tsunami of solar panels to be fixed in existing sustainable energy market. Raising a concern in the direction of recycling and minerals extraction. With the inclination over utilizing green energy ways of power production. The solar sector has been ambushed and still in progress to satisfy the daily surpassing limits of power demand. Being a better choice to reduce carbon emission the solar setups are in a process of capturing acres of lands and water bodies. As a result, all along with it, the life span or service period of solar panel also needs to be on count. Off servicing a solar panel assembly leaves its set up open and exposed to the environment. Its construction utilizes minerals like cadmium, gallium, germanium, tellurium etc. all in creation of modules but after its lifespan, majority of panel assemblies found at garbage's etc. and serves as pollutant. This linear economy chain needs to be channelized. High need of recycling framework at government, industry and residential level is required to provide better end of life disposal. Better termination of the minerals extracted from earth is required by fixing solar module. © 2022
