These EPDs, certified under the international EPD System, demonstrate the company’s commitment to reducing environmental impacts through advanced technology and sustainable practices.
Certification Highlights Environmental Responsibility
The EPDs, backed by comprehensive Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) conducted by Sphera Solutions, provide a detailed analysis of the environmental footprint of Waaree’s mono PERC and TOPCon solar panels.
The assessments cover the entire life cycle of the panels—from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal – ensuring transparency and accountability in Waaree’s environmental impact.
