The energy crisis and rising electricity prices in Pakistan have attracted citizens to alternative sources, the most prominent of which is solar energy. From installing solar panels on rooftops to large solar parks, the sector is growing rapidly. Critics, however, warn that torrential rains, floods and poor waste management as a result of climate change could turn the system into a new environmental crisis. According to the data, Pakistan imported millions of solar panels and batteries with thousands of megawatts capacity in the last financial year. Mian Abdul Khaliq, an importer of solar panels, revealed that Pakistan urgently needed a solar waste management policy and recycling structure, otherwise the alternative energy system will lose its environmental benefits.
