Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is photovoltaic laminate production, multi-Si wafer. The reference product is photovoltaic laminate, multi-Si wafer. 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. In this laminate, multi-Si cells are laminated. 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 reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
