Abstract :
Environmental assessment of photovoltaic systems is a rich field, with representations of many technologies, regions and methodologies. This paper discusses some of the factors that strongly affect the outcomes of studies, encourages detailed reporting of normalization parameters and scope, and discusses a cradle to grave framework for benchmarking life cycle assessments of photovoltaic systems.
