摘要:Life cycle assessment (LCA) of a 50 kW solar photovoltaic (SPV) system which is situated at Bazak (Bhatinda) in Punjab state (India) has been presented. Among all the components in the SPV system, PV modules are energetically and environmentally very expensive elements. The energy pay-back time (EPBT) was found to be 1.85 years and the normalized greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was evaluated as 55.7 g-CO2/kWhe. These results have also been compared with the other SPV electricity generation systems.
