Analysis to determine how long it would take to buy back the CO2e embedded in various photovoltaic types compared to the current Cal Poly Humboldt grid.

This study of Glass-Back sheet (G-BS) and Glass-Glass (G-G) modules from EU, China, and Germany compared two metrics: carbon dioxide emissions and time. It was concluded that the embedded CO2e in the EU G-G panel was 1,389 tons and the buyback period was 11.5 months. The embedded CO2e in the EU G-BS panel was 1,587 tons and the buyback period was 14 months. The embedded CO2e in the Germany G-G panel was 1,720 tons and the buyback period was 15.5 months. The embedded CO2e in the Germany G-BS panel was 1,918 tons and the buyback period was 16.5 months. The embedded CO2ein the China G-G panel was 2,480 tons and the buyback period was 20.5 months. The embedded CO2e in the China G-BS panel was 2,679 tons and the buyback period was 22 months.
