U.S. scientists have developed a method to forecast solar irradiance at any location using a single high-resolution hemispherical image captured on-site. By extracting sky, sun, and surrounding scene ...

A European research group has developed a new “empirical” method for measuring the backside irradiance of bifacial PV system. The proposed approach was tested across several European locations and it ...

Fluctuations in solar radiation are a problem for solar power plants as they cause problems in the power grid and other reliability issues. In a recent study, scientists aimed to deepen our ...

Even slight deviations to the equilibrium of this energy system are thought to be capable of causing extreme changes to Earth’s climate. Although solar irradiance data is an important component of ...

Since July 2022, a miniature satellite about the size of a shoebox has been orbiting Earth and monitoring how much solar energy reaches the atmosphere. Now, scientists are finalizing their analysis of ...

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New energy technologies, like solar, require specialized test tools to efficiently provide critical measurements. The new Fluke IRR1 ...

Earth's energy budget is a metaphor for the delicate equilibrium between energy received from the Sun versus energy radiated back out in to space. Research into precise details of Earth's energy ...

Parts of Belgium, Germany and the UK have seen their solar irradiance increase up to 50% above average in March 2025. Image: Solargis Solar irradiation in Western Europe has increased by 50% ...

JA Solar and TÜV Nord have reported the results of a one-year energy yield test carried out at the CPVT National Photovoltaic Experimental Base at Yinchuan. The aim of the test was to study and verify ...

The studied cyanobacterial mat originated from an intertidal flat near Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), and was kept in the laboratory in 0.2 μm filtered seawater (originating from the North Sea) ...
