The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Columbia University to characterize, quantify, and compare the life cycle health and environmental impacts of scalable single-junction and tandem perovskite solar cell (PSC) architectures, utilizing a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) framework. The project would produce comparative evaluations of different PSC designs and production pathways, as well as comparisons with other PV technologies and conventional power generation technologies.
