Publication TypeResearch ReportAbstractThe purpose of this study was to quantify the nature and extent of the Northern Territory’s solar photovoltaic (PV) waste and to explore how end-of-life (EOL) management planning could be used to mitigate both the environmental threats posed by solar waste as well as offset the potential costs of managing this waste in the future. As the first study of its kind in the Northern Territory (NT) (and first of its kind to focus on Outer Regional, Remote and Very Remote areas of Australia), this project sought to provide insights into the current policy environment and practices and the barriers and challenges associated with managing solar PV waste, as well as generate a robust evidence base regarding the current and future solar waste trajectories in the NT. The study also aimed to identify potential options for managing this waste including opportunities for regional and remote communities.AuthorMathur, D.Gregory, R.Simons, T.Date2020Publication CollectionNorthern Institute Research Reports
