How can i download and import data for pv panels from openlca nexus data search to the software and calculate the impacts?

How did you figure this out ? Did you find any database for PV panels or you did literature review. If literature review, can you send it here. Thanks

Hello Niksk,

As far as i can tell there are three ways this can work.

1) You use the existing PV panels in ecoinvent, or use production data for pv's you have from suppliers

2) You find published literature of the impacts, and add these impacts as results in OpenLCA.

3) You can find published literature , and add it out of software, e.g. in an excel sheet, after exporting your results from OpenLCA.

Hope this helps, good luck
