Abstract This review focus on LCC Assessment (LCCA) and the adoption of this methodology for the economic pillar evaluation of the Sustainability Life Cycle in the Solar Energy sector. Research showed the effectiveness of this methodology as the main component for assessing sustainability in the economic domain, and the relationship with the primary methods of environmental and social areas. The energy industry has been responsible for a significant number of publications, and the use of LCCA for different scale solar energy solutions as vehicles, houses, buildings, highways, rural properties and power plants indicates the usefulness of this methodology. In the large-scale solar energy solutions, for Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), the use of LCCA can upraise the advantages for choosing or integrating both solutions. Also clarifying the feasibility of their critical ancillary solutions, named Electrical Energy Storages (EES) and the Thermal Energy Storages (TES). In minor scale solar energy solutions where the crescent technological evolution of SPV Cells has resulted in higher energy efficiency rates, the use of the LCCA can demonstrate the sensitive reduction on the Levelled Cost of Energy (LCOE), reflecting on the feasibility of solutions as the Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB). These facts allied to the crescent number of studies and publications shows that LCCA is a promising field of studies and a powerful tool to achieve a most complete and reliable Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of solar energy technologies and also the solar energy implementation projects, mainly in the design phase.

生命周期成本作为太阳能行业生命周期可持续性评估的底线：综述

摘要 本次审查的重点是 LCC 评估 (LCCA) 以及该方法对太阳能行业可持续性生命周期的经济支柱评估的采用。研究表明，该方法作为评估经济领域可持续性的主要组成部分的有效性，以及与环境和社会领域的主要方法的关系。能源行业发表了大量出版物，并且将 LCCA 用于不同规模的太阳能解决方案，如车辆、房屋、建筑物、高速公路、农村物业和发电厂，表明了这种方法的有用性。在大规模太阳能解决方案中，对于太阳能光伏 (SPV) 和聚光太阳能 (CSP)，使用 LCCA 可以提升选择或集成两种解决方案的优势。还阐明了其关键辅助解决方案的可行性，即电能储存 (EES) 和热能储存 (TES)。在小规模太阳能解决方案中，SPV 电池的新月技术发展导致更高的能源效率，使用 LCCA 可以证明能源水平成本 (LCOE) 的敏感降低，反映了解决方案的可行性，因为零能耗建筑 (ZEB)。这些事实与不断增加的研究和出版物数量相结合，表明 LCCA 是一个很有前途的研究领域，是实现太阳能技术和太阳能实施项目最完整和可靠的生命周期可持续性评估的有力工具，主要是在设计阶段。
