India’s solar waste is expected to jump to 600,000 tonnes by 2030 from the current 100,000 tonnes due to rapid deployment of new solar capacities, a study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water said on Wednesday.
The country has seen acceleration in solar energy deployment to nearly 75 GW from 5-6 GW in 2015. With aspirations to reach 500 GW of renewable energy by 2050, the management of solar waste is a priority, the report said.
