When utilizing the life-cycle assessment data for multi-Si PV modules in China, it is essential to integrate the material consumption and environmental emissions as outlined in this inventory data for the complete production process, from silicon to the final module assembly. Additionally, users should consider the energy consumption benchmarks from the 'Clean Production of Solar PV in China' report. The data set is optimized for assessing the environmental impacts in the Chinese context and should be used accordingly. It is paramount to use the functional unit of 1 kWh of multi-Si PV module output when evaluating lifecycle impacts to ensure comparability.

Technical purpose
The industrial process described is the assembly of multi-crystalline silicon (multi-Si) modules for photovoltaic (PV) systems. This involves compacting PV glass with cells and a composite material using a binder, encasing the assembly in an aluminum alloy, and installing a junction box on the back. These multi-Si modules are essential for converting solar energy into electricity and are used in both residential and commercial solar panel installations.
