Environmental impact of photovoltaic modules, inverters and systems - Energy Labelling

Single market

Given the role that photovoltaic products are expected to have in the decarbonisation of the EU energy system, it is of primary importance that newly installed products in the European Union are environmentally-friendly. To this effect, the Commission is assessing the opportunity to implement regulatory measures addressing the environmental impacts of photovoltaics.
