PV Modules Life Cycle

Abstract


With the increase in global population, difficulties surroundings natural resource utilization has intensified, and environmental problems have worsened several places of the globe. Energy generation accounts for a significant share of overall greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. As a result, eliminating pollution from energy-generating is a viable and significant research topic. It is essential to begin exploring alternatives to traditional electricity plant-based generation that use coal, oil or natural gas as a source of raw materials. Alternative power sources are becoming a focal point of the electricity generating business over the last decade. Wind power, Solar panels, Biogas as well as fuel cells are examples of mature modern energy generation systems today. Among these, photovoltaic panels seem to be the most widely accepted and practical technology for usage in both residential as well as commercial buildings.
