Journal ArticleDOI
Energy pay-back time and CO2 emissions of PV systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy requirements for the production of PV modules and BOS components are analyzed in order to evaluate the energy pay-back time and the CO2 emissions of grid-connected PV systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photovoltaics energy payback times, greenhouse gas emissions and external costs: 2004–early 2005 status
Vasilis Fthenakis,E.A. Alsema +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Energy Payback Times (EPBT), Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and external environmental costs of current commercial photovoltaic technologies are estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy viability of photovoltaic systems
E.A. Alsema,Evert Nieuwlaar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy balance of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems is analyzed in order to evaluate the energy pay-back time and the CO 2 emissions of grid-connected PV systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel approach for the recycling of thin film photovoltaic modules
TL;DR: In this article, two strategies for thin-film PV recycling based on wet mechanical processing for broken modules, and combined thermal and mechanical methods for end-of-life modules are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Impact of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Module Production
E.A. Alsema,Mariska J. de Wild +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive effort has been made to collect Life Cycle Inventory data that represents the current status of production technology for crystalline silicon modules, and a Life Cycle Assessment has been performed, which shows that c-Si PV systems are in a good position to compete with other energy technologies.
