Although an accurate assessment of solar resources is key to ensuring the reliability of an energy yield assessment, most studies rely exclusively on satellite irradiation data. Solar developers ...

Despite the warm weather this week, I am imagining that the snow will linger for a while longer. I figure it will take a lot ...

Researchers from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and Qualifying Photovoltaics, a Madrid-based PV engineering consultancy, have provided a series of practical recommendations for short-term ground ...

Field researchers studying the Golmud Solar Park in China’s Gobi Desert have documented measurable shifts in air temperature, humidity, surface albedo, and soil biology inside the photovoltaic arrays ...

Photographs of the Enertis Applus+ albedo measurement system in two contrasting environments: on the left, a green grass meadow; on the right, a dry wasteland. The system can adapt to different ...

Bifacial technology has become increasingly widely adopted in recent years. Image: Jolywood Researchers in Spain have developed a statistical model aimed at reducing uncertainties in the estimation of ...

FARGO — Albedo is a word describing the portion of the sun’s radiation reflected from a surface. Most solar radiation passes directly through air with relatively little absorption. The reason it is ...

Considering the globe as a whole, high clouds and cloud-free scenes result in warming of the Earth's atmosphere, as less energy escapes into space than arrives from the sun. For low clouds, it's the ...
