Embodied Energy and Environmental Impact of Large-Power Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Irrigation Systems

A life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was used to evaluate the cumulative energy demand and the related environmental impact of three large-power stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) irrigation systems ranging from 40 kWp to 360 kWp. The novelty of this analysis is the large power of these systems as t...
