Abstract Organic solar cells, both in the hybrid dye sensitized technology and full organic polymeric technology, are a promising alternative that could supply electricity at cost much lower than other more conventional inorganic photovoltaic technologies. This paper presents life cycle analysis of laboratory production typical bulk heterojunction cell compares this result with those obtained for industrial Also detailed material inventory from raw materials to final module is presented,...
A life cycle analysis (LCA) on a product integrated polymer solar module is carried out in this study. These assessments are well-known to be useful developmental stages of order identify the bottlenecks for up-scaling its production phase several aspects spanning from economics through design functionality. An LCA study was performed quantify energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions electricity manufacture light-weight lamp based plastic foil, lithium-polymer battery, cell, printed...

Small size polymeric solar cells at laboratory scale have recently reached efficiencies up to 8.3% [1]. The rapid progress in manufacturing methods which allow a continuous roll-to-roll production indicate that this high efficiency could be within reach for larger modules [2]. Life cycle analysis has evaluated the environmental impact of emerging technology and allows us compare carbon emissions mitigation potential with other photovoltaic technologies, renewable energy sources, or fossil...
Abstract The life cycle assessment of a grid‐connected, parking integrated, 222 kW p cadmium telluride photovoltaic system has been performed. was built at the University Murcia and monitored for 2.5 years (sampling data every 5 min). detailed material inventory, energy embedded in system, payback time, return factor facility have obtained are 6.31 TJ equivalent primary energy, 2.06 12.16years, respectively. average performance ratio is 0.8 with slight monthly variation. Additionally,...
We have studied blends of poly-(3-octylthiophene) (P3OT) and graphitic nanoparticles by macroscopic transport measurements, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Scanning Force (SFM) techniques. Their morphology as well their mechanical electrical properties been characterized on a nanometer scale function the carbon nanoparticle concentration in blend. For intermediate concentrations (5–10% wt. nanoparticles) samples present regions pure round polymer mixture,...
A refined life-cycle assessment of polymer solar cells is presented with a focus on critical components, i.e. the transparent conductive ITO layer and encapsulation components. This present analysis gives comprehensive sketch full environmental potential polymer-OPV in comparison other PV technologies. It shown that m basis characteristics are highly beneficial, while watt-peak kWh basis, these benefits – at current level development still (over-)compensated by low module efficiency limited...
