| Abstract [eng] |
The work deals with the most pressing energy environmental problems of our time, the main of which are the compatibility of ensuring energy supply and reducing climate change. This problem, as has been noted, can be solved most effectively by the fast-growing solar energy sector, but whether the life cycle of solar modules will have a greater impact on climate change, and which technology would solve this problem most effectively, will be assessed in this paper. This work consists of glass/glass and standard type solar modules life cycle analysis, from production of raw materials to the process of solar module utilization. The entire life cycle is compared by three criteria: efficiency, environmental and cost-effectiveness. Indicators such as: relative generation, solar module energy payback time, greenhouse gas payback time, CO2 index, return of energy investment, net present value, internal rate of return, payback period and weighted costs of electricity generation are calculated. Based on the results obtained, it‘s compared which type of solar module has the least impact on the environment and has a greater advantage in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. |
