EQ3.6.2 Environmental Considerations of PV Systems

1/1 point (graded)
Assume that the PV module is used in a location where it gives an average annual PV yield of 500 kWh
over its lifetime of 30 years. Also assume that the balance of system (BOS) requires a total of 1000 kWh
for its production.

What is the energy yield ratio of the entire PV system over its lifetime of 30 years?
