Using Life Cycle Assessment to Determine the Environmental Impacts Caused by Solar Photovoltaic Systems

Using Life Cycle Assessment to Determine the Environmental Impacts Caused by Solar Photovoltaic Systems

The paper presents research that investigated the Life Cycle Assessment of multi-crystalline photovoltaic (PV) panels, by considering environmental impacts of the entire life cycle for any solar PVsystems. The overall manufacturing process of a solar PV panel ranging from silica extraction, crystall...
