Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This product represents 1 m2 of photovoltaic laminate. A photovoltaic laminate combines many photovoltaic cells with several layers of glass and plastic to protect the cells and improve their longevity. This represents a thin-film solar laminate using CdTe as photovoltaic material. Thin-film solar cells are made by depositing photovoltaic material on a substrate like glass plastic or metal. CdTe laminates use cadmium telluride as photovoltaic material. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
