The study distinguished domestic and imported raw materials for PV modules within the framework of a life-cycle assessment based on traditional processes.
Approximately 52% of the demand for this silicon in the Chinese PV industry is met by imports. The environmental impacts and energy consumption of this silicon manufacturing are different for sources in which the technology of imported multi-crystalline silicon is more advanced and greener than that used to produce such silicon in China.
Environmental impact of multi-crystalline silicon PV cell in China was assessed. Data were collected from modern and technically advanced industrial sites. Key factors that contributed the overall environmental burden were identified. Environmental burden could be efficiently reduced by improving energy efficiency. 1. Introduction
LCA is conducted on the multi-crystalline silicon photovoltaic systems in China. Multi-Si production is the most contributor to the energy demand and environmental impacts. Compared to other power generation systems in China, PV system is more environmentally friendly. Areas with higher solar radiation are more suitable for installing PV systems.
Multi-crystalline silicon is a key imported raw material in that industry. According to the market share of assumed to be produced in China. Scenario 3 accounts for the full picture of the Chinese PV module industry. Based on PV industry used in the Chinese PV module industry in 201 0 ( Table 8 ). 2.4. Data source and assumptions
China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011. Today, China’s share in all the manufacturing stages of solar panels (such as polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells and modules) exceeds 80%.
