Waaree Energies has become the first Indian solar panel manufacturer to publish independently verified environmental product declarations (EPDs) for its bifacial mono PERC and TOPCon solar panels. Certified under The International EPD System, these declarations highlight Waaree’s solar panels are designed to reduce environmental footprints, with TOPCon panels classified as ultra-low-carbon products.
These EPDs, based on rigorous Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) conducted by Sphera Solutions, quantify the environmental impact of Waaree’s mono PERC and TOPCon solar panels from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
Waaree’s 550Wp mono PERC panels with an efficiency of 21.36% have a life cycle carbon footprint of 0.447 kg CO? eq./Wp. TOPCon panels with an efficiency of 22.03% and power rating of 600 Wp have an ultra-low-carbon footprint of 0.368 kg CO? eq./Wp.
Amit Paithankar, chief executive officer, Waaree Energies, said, “Our EPDs set a new benchmark for sustainability in the renewable energy sector. By combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices, we empower stakeholders to make informed decisions for a low-carbon future.”
Headquartered in Mumbai, Waaree Energies operates manufacturing facilities with an installed capacity of 13.3 GW for solar PV modules (including 1.3 GW of Indosolar).
