Life cycle assessments (LCAs) of conventional and innovative photovoltaic systems are discussed, showing both theories and practices related to sustainability and environmental impact. Technical performance and environmental performance of a variety of photovoltaic (PV) systems are investigated. Environmental performance is based on life cycle assessment methodology. An LCA comparison between six building-integrated photovoltaics solutions for the envelope is shown. Based on the analysis, some improvement suggestions are provided to improve the awareness of the environmental impacts of PV technology.

Abstract
Life cycle assessments (LCAs) of conventional and innovative photovoltaic systems are discussed, showing both theories and practices related to sustainability and environmental impact. Technical performance and environmental performance of a variety of photovoltaic (PV) systems are investigated. Environmental performance is based on life cycle assessment methodology. An LCA comparison between six building-integrated photovoltaics solutions for the envelope is shown. Based on the analysis, some improvement suggestions are provided to improve the awareness of the environmental impacts of PV technology.File in questo prodotto:
