Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Product information for this product is available within the datasets that produce it. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This product represents 1 m2 of photovoltaic laminate. A photovoltaic laminate combines many photovoltaic cells with several layers of glass and plastic to protect the cells and improve their longevity. This represents a thin-film solar laminate using CdTe as photovoltaic material. Thin-film solar cells are made by depositing photovoltaic material on a substrate like glass plastic or metal. CdTe laminates use cadmium telluride as photovoltaic material. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
