“…PV systems performed better in environmental performance than conventional residential energy systems. Maghrabie et al (2021) [14] argued that advances in integrated PV systems for residential and commercial buildings aim to minimize overall energy demand and associated GHG emissions. Li et al (2018) [15] explored the categories of solar PV systems using the life cycle theory for the Northeast UK case and found polycrystalline (p-Si) to be the best performer and the best choice.…”

Due to increasing pollution and the overexploitation of traditional energy, there is both an environmental and a resource threat to sustainable development. China’s government prioritizes the optimization of resource structures with photovoltaic industrial support policies to address the potential hazards of traditionally highly polluting energy resources. However, applying green energy resources is not a panacea for solving existing industrial pollution as environmental problems cannot be solved with the level of optimized energy types. Instead, it is necessary to further explore the potential carbon emissions from clean energy resources. Therefore, we construct a polysilicon PV system’s whole life cycle carbon emission model by applying the LCA method and further building the emission coefficient model. More specifically, we divided the system’s carbon emissions into six components and calculated each part separately. In addition, we further applied the case analysis method. We analyzed the carbon emissions of the 280 MW solar cell production project of a leading global PV module company in China. The research results indicated that polysilicon companies should proactively develop advanced production technologies to upgrade energy-saving and environmental safety measures to reduce resource and energy consumption from raw materials in the final disposal process.

“…Nowadays, much concern has been given to global warming resulting from fossil fuels [126,127]. Several methods have been carried out to minimize the reliance on fossil fuels, such as using efficient energy conversion devices such as fuel cells [128][129][130] that are efficient and environmentally friendly [131], improving the efficiency of the current energy conversion devices and/or using renewable energy sources [132][133][134][135]. Among these different methods, renewable energy sources are the most promising option, as they are sustainable and have no or low environmental impacts [136][137][138][139].…”

Metal–air batteries are a promising technology that could be used in several applications, from portable devices to large-scale energy storage applications. This work is a comprehensive review of the recent progress made in metal-air batteries MABs. It covers the theoretical considerations and mechanisms of MABs, electrochemical performance, and the progress made in the development of different structures of MABs. The operational concepts and recent developments in MABs are thoroughly discussed, with a particular focus on innovative materials design and cell structures. The classical research on traditional MABs was chosen and contrasted with metal–air flow systems, demonstrating the merits associated with the latter in terms of achieving higher energy density and efficiency, along with stability. Furthermore, the recent applications of MABs were discussed. Finally, a broad overview of challenges/opportunities and potential directions for commercializing this technology is carefully discussed. The primary focus of this investigation is to present a concise summary and to establish future directions in the development of MABs from traditional static to advanced flow technologies. A systematic analysis of this subject from a material and chemistry standpoint is presented as well.

“…In cold weather, air-based BIPV thermal systems have the benefit of supplying space heating during the year due to low ambient air temperatures [91,102]. Designing and achieving the operation at zero energy buildings (ZEBs) can be done by incorporating BIPVT systems [103]. However, it should maintain technical and economic requirements, aesthetical aspects prior to integrating into the building envelopes to fulfill the necessary factional requirements [104][105][106].…”

Advances in building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems for residential and commercial purposes are set to minimize overall energy requirements and associated greenhouse gas emissions. The BIPV design considerations entail energy infrastructure, pertinent renewable energy sources, and energy efficiency provisions. In this work, the performance of roof/façade-based BIPV systems and the affecting parameters on cooling/heating loads of buildings are reviewed. Moreover, this work provides an overview of different categories of BIPV, presenting the recent developments and sufficient references, and supporting more successful implementations of BIPV for various globe zones. A number of available technologies decide the best selections, and make easy configuration of the BIPV, avoiding any difficulties, and allowing flexibility of design in order to adapt to local environmental conditions, and are adequate to important considerations, such as building codes, building structures and loads, architectural components, replacement and maintenance, energy resources, and all associated expenditure. The passive and active effects of both air-based and water-based BIPV systems have great effects on the cooling and heating loads and thermal comfort and, hence, on the electricity consumption.
