Differences between silicon cells and solar glass

4 FAQs about [Differences between silicon cells and solar glass]

Is there a new LCI for crystalline silicon PV systems?

In late 2020, IEA PVPS released an updated LCI for PV systems that contains updates for crystalline silicon PV technology reflecting the year 2018, while some information, such as the amounts of auxiliary materials, are still based on 2011 .

Why is single crystalline silicon preferred over multi-crystalline silicon?

Single-crystalline silicon was chosen over multi-crystalline silicon as it is the leading polysilicon feedstock with a market share of 65% in 2019 and expected market share of 80% by 2030 .

Do single-Si glass-glass modules have more impact than glass-backsheet modules?

Single-Si glass-glass modules show lower impacts than glass-backsheet modules. Most impacts lowest for module production in EU, followed by Germany and China. Comparison of influence of different life cycle inventory datasets on results. Proposal of warranty-based yield calculation method for more exact impacts per kWh.

What is the difference between glass-glass and glass-backsheet design?

Concerning climate change, the glass-glass design has a smaller carbon footprint than the glass-backsheet design (8% less in China, 11% less in Germany, 12.5% less in EU) and both module designs emit 30% and 40% less carbon when produced in Germany and the EU compared to China, respectively.
