摘要: The environmental profiles of photovoltaic (PV) systems are becoming better as materials used more efficiently in their production, and overall system performance improves. Our analysis details the material energy inventories life cycle high-concentration PV systems, and, based on measured field-performances, evaluates payback times, greenhouse gas emissions, usage land water. Although operating require considerable maintenance, burden is much lower than that flat-plate c-Si same high-insolation regions. estimated times Amonix 7700 operation at Phoenix, AZ, only 0.9 year, its emissions 27 g CO2-eq./kWh over 30 years, or approximately 16 g 50 years.
