In this study, innovative EC-TSC systems are applied as the skylight for the atrium of a commercial building to replace the current PV glazing skylight. The environmental and economic sustainability of EC-TSC systems is investigated by applying life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) in a cradle-to-cradle approach.
In the calculation of life cycle cost, all energy produced by the PV system is valued at the same $/kWh rate, so the result would not be accurate when the PV system is off-setting a utility rate dominated by demand or time-of-use charges.
According to IRENA's 2019 Future of Solar Photovoltaics report , rapid adoption of solar cells alone would account for 21% of overall emission mitigation potential in the energy sector among all low-carbon technology alternatives.
For commercial thin film solar cell technologies (a-Si, CIGS, CIS, CdTe, GaAs and tandem GaAs), the life cycle CED ranged from 684 to 8671 MJ/m 2 (median: 1248 MJ/m 2). This range was higher than emerging thin-film solar cell technologies (PSC, PSC tandem, DSSCs, OPV, CZTS, QD) that reported a CED range of 37–24007 MJ/m 2 (median: 721 MJ/m 2).

Modules and BOS are the major cost of solar PV systems. Economic incentives and financial policy instruments, similar to exemptions of value-added tax (VAT), imports, income taxes, export obligations, native taxes, carbon taxes, and accelerated depreciation, would decrease the upfront cost of solar PV systems.

Get PriceWhen evaluating energy sources, LCOE is a commonly used metric that considers efficiency, cost, and lifetime. Despite their low initial cost, PSCs have an LCOE of ∼14 US cents/kW/h owing to their shorter lifetime (∼1 y) [3, 4], which is higher than those of other PV technologies including Si, CIGS, and CdTe solar cells (3–5 US cents/kW/h) [3].
