In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that atmospheric conditions led to variations in solar conditions across North America. According to analysis using the Solcast ...

According to NOAA, the total energy received on Earth from sunlight — the Total Solar Irradiance, as measured from satellites — increases by 0.1% during solar maximum. But that’s too small ...

A Finnish-Norwegian research group has investigated model chains for horizontal-to-vertical solar irradiance conversion in east-west oriented vertical PV systems located at high latitudes.

analyzing factors such as solar irradiance, weather patterns, and site conditions. Accurate assessments are critical because: Solar energy generation depends heavily on site-specific conditions.

Researchers used both historical and modeled data from multiple wildfire seasons to analyze the impact on solar power. They examined global horizontal irradiance, the total amount of solar ...

To assess these tradeoffs, we estimate a dynamic model of residential solar adoption and system sizing in California using household-level data on solar irradiance, electricity consumption, and ...
