The activity generating the emissions is market for photovoltaic facade installation, 3kWp, multi-Si, panel, mounted, at building. The reference product is photovoltaic facade installation, 3kWp, multi-Si, panel, mounted, at building. This is an infrastructure, representing the installation of a photovoltaic facade installation, 3kWp, multi-Si, panel, mounted, at building. It has a capacity of 3kWp and a lifetime of 30 years. The process includes all the components for the installation of a  photovoltaic plant, energy use for the mounting and decommission. The assembly process is dependent on the type of façade. Here we assume a commonly used construction with aluminium profiles. About 75 kg of aluminium are used for the basic construction structure for 22m2 of panels. The integration of solar laminates in a façade is mainly useful for new buildings or as a part of renovation activities. It is more frequently used for industrial buildings. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: construction work. Retrieved from the EXIOBASE v3.8.2 model outputs for products. These factors were calculated based on 2019 data. They include emissions from land-use. The split into constituent gases is not provided as the source does not provide a split of gases. The LCA boundaries of these factors are not defined by the source. These factors include effects of international trade.
