AI Customer ServiceAt least three regulatory levels for the production, installation, operation and end of life of photovoltaic systems can be considered. Additionally, the Life Cycle Assessment methodology is also regulated by standards. In this chapter, the three levels are presented.
First, to regulate system design and battery function: IEC 62124 for stand-alone PV system design recommendations and PV performance evaluation (including battery testing and recovery after periods of low state-of-charge) in a variety of climatic conditions, and IEC 62509 for battery charge controllers.
The previous literature review reveals a well-established environmental impacts assessment of the solar PV systems is crucial. Currently, there is a gap in the literature regarding the impact of different PV system components on the environment.
PV systems cannot be regarded as completely eco-friendly systems with zero-emissions. The adverse environmental impacts of PV systems include land, water, pollution, Hazardous materials, noise, and visual. Future design trends of PV systems focus on improved design, sustainability, and recycling.
The production of hazardous contaminates, water resources pollution, and emissions of air pollutants during the manufacturing process as well as the impact of PV installations on land use are important environmental factors to consider.
On the other hand, when considering end-of-life stages, the most important regulation affecting recycling of electrical and electronic equipment, which include PV system components, is the Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) .
