Abstract

PV Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a structured, comprehensive method of quantifying and assessing material and energy flows and their associated emissions from manufacturing, transport, installation, use and end of life. This is the third version of this Fact Sheet, published in 2023 based on the 2021 update of the LCA database.
