In areas with low penetration of grid-based electricity, off-grid solar (OGS) devices have for the last decade played an important role providing light and access to communications. However, this has come at a cost in terms creation streams electronic waste. To shed on issue, paper explores how broken-down OGS are handled by post-consumption value-chain actors, which factors essential reducing amount OGS-derived The study is based household survey interviews actors. Global Value Chain Framework was used analysis. empirical findings reveal that broken do not follow linear trajectory from consumer end destination, but rather move back forth between repair consumer, even different options, might hibernate all these nodes, until they find end-destination. Broken stored home comprised 72 % while only 8 were disposed of. Repair rates high brought firm informal shops alike, latter mainly did simple repairs due lack skills, 'black-box engineering' limited spare parts. Unlike other countries region, vast majority provided larger international companies which, through their warranty take-back schemes, could collect significant percentage waste stream or redirect it into established schemes recycling. spite recent attempts regulation, still materialize.

This study performs the first life cycle assessment of solar home systems (SHSs) to use data quantifying lead pollution from informal lead-acid battery recycling. The typical SHSs in off-grid communities surrounding Malawi's capital Lilongwe is assessed, considering affordable components imported China, lifetimes one year, collection materials through scrap market, open dumping and burning waste, recycling (remanufacturing). Lead-acid batteries are highlighted as most damaging SHS component, occupying 54–99% each impact category, caused by burdens mining high assembly energy batteries, amplified short – subject detrimental user practices. amount electricity delivered users significantly restricted low efficiency components. Meanwhile, remanufacturing a single recorded release over 100 times lethal oral dose for an adult into densely populated communities, resulting terrestrial ecotoxicity potential 200–386 kg 1,4-DCB eq. per kWh delivered. Proposed formal solutions found successfully mitigate toxicity waste management but incur significant burdens: substituting toxic resource-efficient remanufacture with safe energy-intensive production. Furthermore, one-year can cause environmental impacts exceed diesel generators categories, global warming up 1.4 CO2/kWh. Hence, both extended three years be necessary considered low-carbon technology requiring holistic interventions.
