Environmental and economic analysis of building integrated photovoltaic systems in Italian regions (2015, background): “according to a learning rate estimated to be between 15% and 20% per year (Koroneos and Tsarouhis, 2012; Raugei and Frankl, 2009).”
Integrated life-cycle assessment of electricity-supply scenarios confirms global environmental benefit of low-carbon technologies (2014, background): “Most previous LCA studies have focused on greenhouse gas emissions and energy payback time analysis, with only a limited number quantifying other environmental impacts such as human health impacts, ecotoxicity, and acidification (67, 71, 72).”
The looming revolution: How photovoltaics will change electricity markets in Europe fundamentally (2013, background): “For a long time Photovoltaic systems have been seen as a mature (1) and environmentally benign technology with a huge potential (2) for electricity generation yet very high costs (3, 4, 5, 6).”
Generation IV nuclear reactors: Current status and future prospects (2013, background): “Photovoltaic power plant composed by modules of multicrystalline silicon with a net electrical efficiency of 19% (Peters et al., 2011; Raugei and Frankl, 2009).”
