Re-assessment of net energy production and greenhouse gas emissions avoidance after 40 years of photovoltaics development

While the photovoltaic industry aims to achieve cleaner energy production, it consumes energy and emits greenhouse gases during production and deployment. Here, Louwenet al. show that the industry has likely already reached break-even points for both greenhouse gases emissions and electricity consum...
