As photovoltaic (PV) technologies evolve, understanding their environmental implications is crucial for a sustainable energy transition. IEA PVPS Task 12 analyzes the environmental impact of passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) technology in PV installations in comparison to the monocrystalline silicon technology (AI-BSF) and the trend towards installing horizontal singla-axis tracker systems as opposed to fixed tilt systems. Primary data from one PERC and tracker manufacturer enable this study’s conclusions. Using the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, the study compares two locations in Italy with different irradiation patterns to evaluate the sensitivity to solar irradiation. The findings reveal that PERC technology and horizontal single-axis tracker systems demonstrate lower environmental impacts compared to Al-BSF and fixed tilt configurations.

People forget how amazing life is in Springs. After my move from Sag Harbor Village to Clearwater Beach in Springs, let me tell you, I could not be happier! Life is a little slower, and my commute to Bridgehampton is a little longer, but I’m not complaining since I get to drive by Three Mile Harbor Marina twice daily. Living in Springs, I feel at home.Anyone I ask about Springs always says something like, “low key,” “chill,” or “relaxing.” I like these adjectives very much and absolutely agree. Yes, Sag Harbor is easily the most charming town I’ve ever lived in…but have you ever tried to park in July? While I miss being in the heart of the Village, life in Springs has been everything I could have ever wanted and more.
