In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that South America saw widespread above-average ...

A Chinese research group has created a novel method to calculate city-scale rooftop PV potential not only based on roof areas but also including installation parameters and economic feasibility. The ...

Since solar irradiance is about 120 W/m² (PDF warning), [Markus] is concentrating a lot of energy onto a point the size of a quarter, which would be necessary to heat up sand to its 1500° C ...

The research team was interested in specifically understanding wildfire smoke's impact on irradiance—the amount of solar light making its way to the surface of a panel to be collected.

We are conducting research related to the development and improvement of calibration technology of reference PV devices used for accurately measuring the irradiance of natural sunlight and solar ...

But for solar power generation, the amount of sunshine - also referred to as irradiance - is more important than the amount of heat, "It's because of this balance between irradiance and ...

How wildfire smoke affects solar energy, reducing irradiance and PV efficiency across the U.S. as wildfires grow in frequency ...
