Integration & assessment of recycling into c-Si photovoltaic module’s life cycleIntegration & assessment of recycling into c-Si photovoltaic module’s life cycle Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2019-09-122018enPhotovoltaic (PV) energy generation devices have experienced a vigorous growth in production over the last decade in all major industrialised countries. In this research paper, the assessment of recycling and subsequent production of new crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV modules taking advantage of the recovered Si in terms of industrial symbiosis is being examined. With the aid of life cycle analysis method, the potential payback is thoroughly examined through a scenario application in the second useful phase of the PV module. Furthermore, key environmental performance indicators have been implemented in order to evaluate power and resource demands.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/International Journal of Sustainable Engineering113186-195 Athanailidis Ilias Αθαναηλιδης Ηλιας Rentoumis Meletios Ρεντουμης Μελετιος Katsigiannis Ioannis Κατσιγιαννης Ιωαννης Bilalis Nikolaos Μπιλαλης Νικολαος Taylor & Francis Environmental performance indicators Grave to cradle approach Life Cycle Assessment Photovoltaics Recycling
