Abstract:

The energy generation by a photovoltaic power plant seems as nonpolluting method of energy generation. Therefore, LCA methodology is applied to analyze the environmental impact created in span of complete life of a PV power plant. The GHG emission, that is one of the impact indicators is analyzed in this paper. Energy consumed in manufacturing, assembling, transporting and in installing a PV power plant contribute to the GHG emission. From the LCA methodology, it is found that the profit of 120 ×106 kg CO2-eq/yr is earned by the PV power generation setup. The GHG emission saving further be improve if the energy consumption in manufacturing stage could be reduced.
