Can life cycle cost analysis be used in photovoltaic systems?
Solar energy, especially through photovoltaic systems, is a widespread and eco-friendly renewable source. Integrating life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) optimizes economic, environmental, and performance aspects for a sustainable approach. Despite growing interest, literature lacks a comprehensive review on LCCA implementation in photovoltaic systems.
What is a solar photovoltaic system?
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems convert solar energy into electrical energy using semiconductor materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. PV systems are a sustainable energy solution, contributing to reducing life cycle costs and environmental impacts in service life planning of buildings and assets (STANDARD-BS 2017).
How can LCCA optimize photovoltaic systems?
Additionally, the proposed framework incorporates performance assessment, cost–benefit analysis, energy optimization, and environmental sustainability. This review highlights the critical role of LCCA in optimizing photovoltaic systems by addressing key economic, environmental, energy, and performance factors.
How efficient is a residential PV system in 2024?
The representative residential PV system (RPV) for 2024 has a rating of 8 kW dc (the sum of the system's module ratings). Each module has an area (with frame) of 1.9 m 2 and a rated power of 400 watts, corresponding to an efficiency of 21.1%.
