Environmental LCA of Residential PV and Battery Storage Systems
Using a life cycle assessment (LCA), the environmental impacts from generating 1 kWh of electricity for self-consumption via a photovoltaic-battery system are determined.
Using a life cycle assessment (LCA), the environmental impacts from generating 1 kWh of electricity for self-consumption via a photovoltaic-battery system are determined.
By comparing the embodied emissions of a project with the emissions it displaces in operation in the assessment of a project, we can begin to understand the full impact of investment in a new
PVs are made from a range of semiconductor and other raw materials that need to be mined and extracted. The most commonly used material in
Some of the most significant environmental impacts of PV solar power plants are related to land use, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), water consumption, hazardous
Rapid global PV (photovoltaic) expansion driven by global decarbonization goals requires comprehensive life cycle environmental evaluation. This study
Using a life cycle assessment (LCA), the environmental impacts from generating 1 kWh of electricity for self-consumption via a photovoltaic
