The project quantifies Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction in Alberta if it is considered that 25% of total energy generated from natural gas and coal is soon replaced with solar panels. A typical solar panel lifecycle is 25 years. When 25% of electricity is generated from solar panels in Alberta, calculating environmental payback time shows that solar panels will be carbon neutral after 2 years of operation. Whereas over 25 years of operation, 29.6 Mt CO2eq is avoided compared to consuming electricity from the grid. The project also aims to assess the GHG footprint during the upstream manufacturing of solar panels deployed in Alberta, and how to improve sustainability for the upstream value chain of major Alberta solar projects. The primary reason for identifying GHG emissions during the upstream side of solar panels will help potential customers of Alberta to know how sustainable solar technology is across its entire lifecycle.
