Description
A photovoltaic (PV) junction box is used to connect and protect solar PV modules, linking the electricity generated by solar cells to external circuits and conducting the current produced by the PV module. The weight of the PV junction box is approximately 0.22 kg. This dataset includes major primary and auxiliary materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, and waste from the production process. Infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and facility construction is excluded from the system boundary of this dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references. The manufacturing process of the PV junction box includes procedures such as feeding, injection molding and cooling, welding, assembly, crimping, and inspection.
