The goal of the paper is to evaluate the whole life cycle's quantitative electricity production's environmental impacts of photovoltaic technology (PV). The reference object installation for the study is identified as the standard 3kWp grid-connected for domestic use, made of mono-cristalline silicon, located in Italy. Results show that the standard PV electric production performance, compared to the energy spent for the production of the installation itself, enables an effective energy payback time of few years. Secondly, the energy use for support structure's production plays a heavy role

Abstract
The goal of the paper is to evaluate the whole life cycle's quantitative electricity production's environmental impacts of photovoltaic technology (PV). The reference object installation for the study is identified as the standard 3kWp grid-connected for domestic use, made of mono-cristalline silicon, located in Italy. Results show that the standard PV electric production performance, compared to the energy spent for the production of the installation itself, enables an effective energy payback time of few years. Secondly, the energy use for support structure's production plays a heavy roleFile in questo prodotto:
