Description
This dataset represents represents the supporting structure construction required for open-ground photovoltaic electricity generation, including photovoltaic module supports, support foundations, inverter–transformer foundations, cable installation, and land occupation. For the dismantling and decommissioning stage, it is assumed that all metallic materials, including steel and reinforcing bars, are recycled at a rate of 90%, while the remaining materials are disposed of via landfilling. The data are primarily derived from publicly available literature and empirical values.
Activity Description
The system boundary includes raw material preparation, on-site construction, as well as demolition, recycling, and disposal phases, but excludes the operation and maintenance phase.
Process Description
This product represents the mounting structures and foundation construction required for ground-mounted photovoltaic power generation per unit component.

Technology comment
This dataset primarily describes the support structures and civil works required for open-ground photovoltaic electricity generation systems, including photovoltaic panel mounting structures, foundations for mounts, foundations for inverters and transformers, cable laying, and land occupation. For the demolition, recovery, and disposal phases of related materials, it is assumed that the recycling rate for metals, reinforcing steel, and similar materials is 90%, with the remaining materials being disposed of via landfill.
