Calculation of emission reductions from solar power generation

6 FAQs about [Calculation of emission reductions from solar power generation]

Can solar photovoltaic generation reduce emissions?

This project focused on the determination of avoided emissions resulting from solar photovoltaic (PV) generation across the contiguous forty-eight United States, using historical PV and/or solar insulation data, coupled with hourly electricity demand and fossil unit operation and emissions data.

Do solar systems reduce emissions?

PV systems installed in the regions where higher emitting units follow changes in demand during the daytime hours will reduce more emissions than PV systems installed where there is more solar resource but where fossil units with lower emissions (natural gas units) follow changes in demand.

Does a grid-connected PV system reduce emissions?

The emissions reduction potential of a grid-connected PV system depends more on the characteristics of the regional electricity system than on the available solar resource.

What determines the magnitude of emission reductions in a regional electricity system?

A detailed analysis of historical PV generation, fossil generation, and fossil emissions data for each region reveals that it is characteristics of a regional electricity system, like fuel portfolio and demand pattern, that determine the magnitude of emission reductions. The use of PV systems lowers the electricity demand seen by a regional grid.

Do PV systems reduce emissions from natural gas peaking units?

PV systems only generate power during daylight hours and the analysis found that PV systems often reduced emissions from natural gas peaking units because they are used in many regions to meet peak (usually daytime) electricity demand. Some higher level conclusions regarding avoided emissions from PV, and avoided emissions in general, include:

How much CO2 does a solar PV system emit?

They showed that the carbon emission rate ranged from 37.3 to 72.2 g CO 2 /kWh, but the data used in this study were derived from relevant literature on PV module-exporting countries and certain assumptions. Similarly, Kabakian et al. assessed the environmental impact of a 1.8-kW mono-Si PV system in Lebanon.
