Abstract

Photovoltaics, notably silicon PV, are becoming increasingly important in providing localised energy for rural communities in Africa. Although viewed as ‘green’, these technologies have environmental impacts associated with their production, use, and disposal, and full lifecycle optimisation for the...

description Photovoltaics, notably silicon PV, are becoming increasingly important in providing localised energy for rural communities in Africa. Although viewed as ‘green’, these technologies have environmental impacts associated with their production, use, and disposal, and full lifecycle optimisation for the circular economy is necessary to make every aspect of these technologies truly sustainable. One of the key questions when considering installation of solar energy systems is what is the best energy storage technology to use. Here we discuss various battery technologies in terms of their suitability for circular economy and functionality for small-scale domestic installation in South Africa.
