It is identified that the majority of existing life cycle assessments on solar cells take into account four typical environmental impacts: energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, material depletion, and toxicity.
In line with these innovations, there are concerns about greenhouse gas emissions of the solar cells, materials for the solar technologies and other relevant environmental impacts of the manufacturing processes. This review is conducted on life cycle assessments of solar cells, considering the climate change and natural resource shortage context.
They showed that the carbon emission rate ranged from 37.3 to 72.2 g CO 2 /kWh, but the data used in this study were derived from relevant literature on PV module-exporting countries and certain assumptions. Similarly, Kabakian et al. assessed the environmental impact of a 1.8-kW mono-Si PV system in Lebanon.
• Total life cycle GHG emissions from solar PV systems are similar to other renewables and nuclear energy, and much lower than coal. Harmonization increases the precision of life cycle GHG emission estimates for c-Si and TF PV, reducing variability in the interquartile range (75th minus 25th percentile value) by 65%.
In the context of the UK, it is clear that the embodied carbon of solar PV is now an important parameter, but a big opportunity. As the UK grid decarbonises the embodied carbon of solar panels will only become even more prominent and the large opportunity of reducing the embodied carbon of solar PV is now important.
Taking an embodied carbon of 2,560 kg CO2e per kWp, this system could have an embodied carbon around 2,920 t CO2e. The embodied carbon of the office (cradle to constructed), assuming 0.6 tCO2e per m2 and 10,000 m2, could be around 6,000 tCO2e. Combined with the embodied carbon of the PV system this is 8,920 kg CO2e.
