A combination of reduced aerosol pollution and global warming have resulted in increasing levels of solar radiation across ...

In utility-scale solar, the industry’s data maturity has reached a turning point. It is no longer enough to simply measure ...

A global study finds climate change will sharply increase high-temperature risks, accelerate degradation, and raise costs for rooftop PV, with economically disadvantaged regions hit hardest.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that January in South America featured dramatic weather contrasts with persistent floods and cloud cover in northern regions ...

According to SolarGIS, single-year irradiance anomalies shouldn’t be used to reveal long-term trends or structural shifts in solar resource risk.

Solar irradiance is the power per unit area received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation as measured in the wavelength range of the measuring instrument. The solar irradiance is ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...

Research analyzing surface solar radiation data across the past three and coming three decades finds Europe has gotten sunnier at an average rate of 2.4 W per decade. This increase in solar radiation ...

A very small instrument has a big job ahead of it: measuring all Earth-directed energy coming from the Sun and helping scientists understand how that energy influences our planet’s severe weather, ...

The use of better-quality data can improve the business case for a number of solar projects. Image: Photon Group. The integrity of a PV project largely depends on the quality of the solar, ...
