LCA to go for PV systems: Analysis tool for optimized PV design and green marketing

The EC FP7 project ?Life Cycle Assessment to go (LCA to go)? has developed an open access, user-friendly web based tool to facilitate LCA characterisation and its incorporation into the PV system value chain. The results obtained from the tool are used to compare and evaluate different types of installations showing the choices? impacts on relevant Key Environmental Performance Indicators (KEPIs) for the PV sector. Within this paper the tool is presented and a real case study is assessed.
