摘要: Abstract The production of electricity from renewable sources plays a strategic role in the future energy because it helps to effectively manage climate change through an generation portfolio with lower emissions greenhouse gases. Photovoltaic solar is safe and sustainable characterised by growing trend cumulative installed capacity that has reached total 40 GW 2010. In this paper, investigations are presented using multiple calculations: Energy Payback Time (EPBT), Greenhouse Gas per kilowatt hour (GHG/kWh), Return on Investment (EROI), (GPBT) (GROI). These metrics make possible define environmental performances for building-integrated photovoltaic system located Italy. module efficiency, embodied annual irradiance variables play strong analysis. key parameters include type cells (e.g., mono-crystalline silicon, polycrystalline amorphous cadmium telluride) location where (Milan, Rome Palermo). results determine whether viable global market.
