What is the IEA photovoltaic power systems programme?

The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) is one of the TCP’s within the IEA and was established in 1993. The mission of the programme is to “enhance the international collaborative efforts which facilitate the role of photovoltaic solar energy as a cornerstone in the transition to sustainable energy systems.”

Are small inverters suitable for rooftop PV design?

Four types (2.5 kW, 5 kW, 10 kW, and 20 kW) of small inverters adequate for rooftop PV design were recently inventoried by Tschümperlin et al . An analysis of a large PV installation at the Springerville Generating Station in Arizona, USA affords a detailed materials- and energy-balance for a ground-mounted BOS.

Where are crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules installed?

In contrast to production, which mainly takes place in Asia, nearly 29 % of the crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules are installed in Europe (12.5 %) and the Americas (16.1 %).The largest share is mounted in China (45.1 %), and in APAC (26.4 %). Tables 2-4 show the supply volumes and market shares derived from the information shown in Figure 3.

Who runs the IEA PVPS TCP?

Task 12 is operated jointly by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney). Support from DOE and UNSW are gratefully acknowledged. The IEA PVPS TCP is organised under the auspices of the International Energy Agency (IEA) but is functionally and legally autonomous. 3.1.

Does consequential LCA apply to PV?

Because consequential LCA is an emerging field and has not typically been applied to PV, analysts should conduct a careful literature review to be aware of the latest developments in the field (see e.g. Ekvall & Weidema 2004, Suh & Yang 2014, Zamagni et al. 2012).

What is LCI data on photovoltaic cells?

Photovoltaic cells The LCI data on material and energy consumption as well as about emissions are updated based on LCI data of single- and multi-crystalline cells published by de Wild-Scholten . Data on “tap water, at user” refers to city water for facility and manufacturing process use.
