Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is photovoltaic cell production, single-Si wafer. The reference product is photovoltaic cell, single-Si wafer. 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. Single-Si, or monocrystalline silicon consists of one single continuous crystal. Single-Si cells are usually more efficient than multi-Si photovoltaic cells. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/154/documentation.
