It can be used to quantify and assign a value framework to CE efforts including re-design, reduction, replacement, reuse, recycling, and lifetime and reliability improvements across the PV value chain. PV ICE enables tradeoff analysis through scenario comparisons, and is highly customizable through user inputs such as deployment schedules, module properties and component materials, and CE pathways. @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ The provided PV ICE module and material baselines leverage published data from m How it Works ============= -This section provides a brief description of how the PV ICE tool works.
