LCA or Life cycle analysis for solar panels and inverters has been done by a number of companies and research institutions to know if a renewable energy system
is as green as they are made out to be. Fraunhofer Institute did an LCA on a Fronius inverter model GEN24 PLUS in a system. They concluded carbon was fully
recovered in less than 11 months, in Sydney, Australia. The system included 10kW pv panels. With 8kW of Maxeon panels LCA payback was 0.52 years.
Maxeon panels last 40 years and still produce at 85%

Life Cycle Analysis of Various Energy Sources

Fuel Source gCO2e/kWhe Notes & Explanation
Wind 5-8 Most emissions from construction steel and concrete
Nuclear 6-110 Mining and enrichment markedly change emissions. As rich

Uo to 200 ore bodies are mined out, more energy is needed for less rice
ore bodies.
80 years of supply left.
Solar 38 Using Maxeone 40 year panels and Fronius inverter 8kW
Gas 500 Fossil methane
Oil 800 Bunker oil and oil fired boilers induce a range of other
pollutants
Coal 1000 Calculation of emissions from mining may underestimate total

emissions by 2 or more times
Life Cycle Analysis is based on the production phase (including sourcing of raw materials), the use phase and the End-of-Life (EoL) phase

Figure 2 from the report : Relative contribution of the PV inverter (Australian scenario) and PV modules to the carbon footprint (“PV system perspective”)
Life Cycle Analysis of PV Cells

SolarQuote reports on Maxeon, a panel they sell. They quote Maxeon’s panels sustainability report. Maxeon engaged an external consultant to carry out an
assessment of the Maxeon 3’s’ energy payback time (EPBT). This included the cumulative energy demand (CED) over all life cycle stages of the panel and
considered local grid efficiencies for different locations around the world.
Maxeon 3 solar panels were determined to have an energy payback time of less than a year; ranging from 0.13 – 0.45 years for ground-mounted modules (50MW
installation) and 0.27 – 0.92 years for 8kW residential rooftop systems. In Australia (Sydney), the EPBT was 0.26 years for the ground mount system and 0.53 years
for the rooftop installation.
Conclusion
Using electricity from a PV system with a Symo GEN24 10.0 Plus in Australia would induce an average carbon footprint of 38.0 g CO2-eq/kWh. In comparison,
using electricity from the Australian grid mix would result in a carbon footprint in the range of 600-1000 g CO2-eq/kWh (approx. 15-25 times higher, due to coal
use, among other things).
In comparison, as a rough estimation, the CO2 emissions saved by the whole PV system over 20 years (not only the inverter) are equivalent to approx. 600 planted
trees. Another rough comparison is possible with gasoline cars where an averaged use of 5 l/100 km is considered. Based on the ecoinvent database, the benefit
of a PV system using the Fronius Symo GEN24 Plus 10.0 in Australia for 20 years (benefit of the whole PV system, not just that allocated to the inverter) would save
the CO2 emissions equivalent of approx. 1,800,000 km travelled by car. For the same PV system use scenario, there would be a CO2 emissions saving equivalent to
approx. 100 roundtrip flights Vienna-New York18. The values for trees, car trips in km, and plane trips are included here simply as a means of comparison and are
not standardized or reviewed values.
