A research team in China assessed the accuracy of the WRF-Solar numerical weather prediction model in simulating global and diffuse radiation. The group’s work highlighted the model’s ...

Radiation testing suggests that solar cells made from carbon-based, or organic, materials could outperform conventional silicon and gallium arsenide for generating electricity in the final frontier, a ...

Scientists have studied the impact wildfires have on the availability of direct normal irradiance and global horizontal ...

Researchers at the University of Ottawa in Canada have defined a series of formulae for ground coverage ratios (GCRs) in utility scale solar ... of diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) to global ...

Amid a steady stream of galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles raining down on planes, the higher altitude and latitude of flights, the higher radiation doses for crew and passengers.

A powerful burst of energy on New Year's Eve created the largest solar flare that has been detected since 2017, but ...

Scientists have quantified the impact of wildfires on the availability of direct normal irradiance and global horizontal ...

Input is received in the form of short-wave solar energy. This is called insolation. Only approximately 52 per cent of this insolation reaches the earth's surface. The rest is absorbed by water ...
