Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is photovoltaic laminate production, CIS. The reference product is photovoltaic laminate, CIS. 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 CIS as photovoltaic material. Thin-film solar cells are made by depositing photovoltaic material on a substrate like glass, plastic or metal. CIS, also CIGS use copper indium gallium selenide as photovoltaic material. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
