Weather effects on solar PV efficiency
Description:
Meteorological and panel production data from the solar PV project - Southerly Winds Increase the Electricity Generated by Solar Photovoltaic Systems. This project looked at meteorological effects on solar panel electricity output in a field-based setting, demonstrating how differences in exposed surface area under northerly and southerly winds can affect the efficacy of surface cooling with implications for electricity output. This project, Southerly Winds Increase the Electricity Generated by Solar Photovoltaic Systems, is further described in this journal article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0038092X20303303?dgcid=author.
