Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is photovoltaic laminate production, CdTe. The Reference Product is photovoltaic laminate, CdTe. 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 Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/8734/documentation
