1. Introduction The use of photovoltaic panels (PVs) for electricity production has rapidly increased in recent years, even though their environmental impacts are still not fully determined. A lot of work has recently been undertaken in this respect, generally with the use of the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology.
The environmental impact of photovoltaic panels (PVs) is an extensively studied topic, generally assessed using the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology. Due to this large amount of papers, a review seems necessary to have a clear view of the work already done and what is still to be done.
PV Cell Technologies The most popular PV cell technologies in use today are PERCs, TOPCon, IBCs, HJTs, Multi Busbar cells, half-cut and 1/3 cut cells, Shingled Cells, Gapless Cells and Bifacial solar cells.
The photovoltaic sector is now led by silicon solar cells because of their well-established technology and relatively high efficiency. Currently, industrially made silicon solar modules have an efficiency between 16% and 22% (Anon (2023b)).
The efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) cells decreases with increasing temperature, which is due to the intrinsic physical properties of the semiconductors used in the cell. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the charge carriers (electrons and holes) within the PV cell increases.
Taking Chinese photovoltaic cell manufacturers as the case study, this study integrates FMEA, IPA, and DEMATEL to propose a new FMEA-IPA-DEMATEL model to correct the weaknesses of FMEA and enhance the effectiveness of evaluation. First, FMEA is applied to identify the factors to be improved.
