Description
This dataset represents the equipment and installation conditions for ground-mounted photovoltaic electricity generation grid connection per unit component, including lightning protection combiner boxes, DC cabinets, inverters, and cables. For the dismantling and decommissioning of related equipment, it is assumed that the recovery rate for materials such as metals and electronic components is 90%, while materials like PVC are incinerated, and the remaining materials are landfilled. 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.

This dataset primarily describes the equipment and installation requirements for ground-mounted grid-connected photovoltaic electricity generation systems, including lightning protection combiner boxes, DC cabinets, inverters, and cable laying. For the dismantling, recycling, and disposal stages of the related equipment, it is assumed that the recycling rate for materials such as metals and electronic components is 90%, PVC and similar materials are incinerated, and the remaining materials are disposed of by landfill.
