| Use advice for data set | Users of this dataset should ensure they accurately account for the collection and diesel-based transport of PV module waste in their LCA. It is essential to note that the data excludes the energy and processes involved in removing the modules from their mounting structures. Data users should consider system boundaries that include transportation to waste treatment facilities but not de-installation from mounting hardware. Furthermore, users should be aware of the limitations regarding only diesel transport is accounted for, and alternative or additional means of transportation should be treated separately. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The given data describes the process involved in the collection and transportation of photovoltaic (PV) module waste. The industrial application of this process is specific to the solar energy sector, where it is used for the proper disposal and handling of end-of-life PV modules. The transportation only involves the movement of PV waste components by diesel-powered trucks from the solar power stations to the nearest waste treatment facilities. |

| General comment on data set | The collection stage considers removing the PV module wastes from the power stations, excluding the removal of modules from the brackets. The transportation stage involves carrying PV waste components by diesel trucks from power stations to the nearest waste treatment plants. |
