Life Cycle Assessment of Two Experimental Recycling Processes for c-Si Solar Modules
Abstract
In this work we calculate and compare the environmental impacts using LCA methodology for two experimental recycling processes for c-Si PV modules using organic and inorganic solvents. The impacts are calculated using a mix of available LCI data from Ecoinvent database and experimental data from the Laboratory of Corrosion, Protection and Recycling of Materials (LACOR - Brazil) and the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney.
