The importance of measuring albedo at solar sites

The importance of measuring albedo at solar sites

As bifacial modules proliferate, estimations of albedo are becoming more important and with developers not prepared to install weather stations to assess solar resource, a popular option has become third-party, on-site measurements over periods as short as a day. Is this an acceptable compromise between costly on-site measuring and less accurate satellite data? Everoze’s Stefan […]

‘Holy grail’ of solar technology set to consign ‘unsustainable silicon’ to history

“Seasoning” the FAPbI3 precursor solution with a sprinkling of specially designed two-dimensional (2D) perovskites improved not only the efficiency of FAPbI3 solar cells but also their durability. (Image credit: Photos by Jeff Fitlow/Rice University) Researchers have synthesized highly durable solar cells made from perovskite — a common crystal structure (in its natural form a calcium

Satellite Collision Prediction Lost During Recent Solar Storm

Satellite Collision Prediction Lost During Recent Solar Storm

Earlier this year, the Earth was hit by the most intense geomagnetic storms in twenty years. The most obvious consequences of the storm were the beautiful displays of aurora in the northern and southern hemispheres at unusual latitudes. In the following days, the internet was ablaze with these images. But the storm also had more

European solar generation takes a hit from ongoing Saharan dust event

European solar generation takes a hit from ongoing Saharan dust event

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that a low-pressure system over the Mediterranean led to a significant dust transport event, affecting solar generation across Europe throughout the week. Weak low pressure in the Mediterranean set up southerly winds from Saharan Africa across the Mediterranean into Europe, drawing dust
