Environmental LCA of Residential PV and Battery Storage Systems
Using a life cycle assessment (LCA), the environmental impacts from generating 1 kWh of electricity for self-consumption via a photovoltaic-battery system are determined.
Large PV power plants (i.e., greater than 20 MW at the utility interconnection) that provide power into the bulk power system must comply with standards related to reliability and adequacy promulgated by authorities such as NERC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Priority should be given to the large-scale PV deployments in areas with abundant solar energy resources, low land costs and convenient grid access.
In the assessment of mitigation potential, relevant data are derived from collected feasibility study reports, environmental impact assessment reports and environmental completion reports of PV projects in 30 provinces (except Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan), which provide detailed economic and technical parameters.
