Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This product represents 1 m2 of photovoltaic cell. A photovoltaic cell converts light into electricity and is used as the building block for large solar panels. Multi-Si or polycrystalline silicon consists of many small silicon crystals compared to single-Si that consist of one single continuous crystal. Multi-Si cells are usually less efficient than single-Si photovoltaic cells The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
