Technological advances in the form of more efficient manufacturing and improved power outputs from solar modules are also effective in reducing manufacturing material and energy demands.
66. Sol. Energy Mater. Sol. Cell. 2017; 162:1-6 Photovoltaics play a key role in clean energy production, but they also exert pressure on various manufacturing and resource chains. Here, Leung et al. refine the material circularity indicator and introduce an energy circularity indicator to inform circular economy strategies for photovoltaics.
However, the emissions intensity of solar PV manufacturing has decreased almost 45% in the last decade. The IEA attributes this reduction to material and energy efficiency improvements in addition to the use of renewable energy in manufacturing.
Residents and businesses in a community can purchase or lease a portion of the solar installation and receive credit for the electricity generated. These projects allow access to renewable energy, reduce energy costs, and enhance public buy-in for solar initiatives (Gai et al., 2021).
In order to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, an air source heat pump assisted rooftop photovoltaic-thermal integration system is designed. The installation area of photovoltaic modules and collectors will not only affect the power side, but also affect the thermal side.
Solar PVs can also be either integrated or attached to buildings. The integration and utilization of PV modules into building structures as either Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems or Building Applied Photovoltaics (BAPVs) are most common in urban areas (Zhao et al., 2023; Constantinou et al., 2024).
