Does solar radiation intermittency predict future photovoltaic reliability?

Using both satellite data and climate model outputs, we characterize solar radiation intermittency to assess future photovoltaic reliability.

What is the economic impact of photovoltaics?

The economic and societal impact of photovoltaics (PV) is enormous and will continue to grow rapidly. To achieve the 1.5 °C by 2050 scenario, the International Renewable Energy Agency predicts that PV has to increase 15-fold and account for half of all electricity generation (15 TW), increasing from just under 1 TW in 2021 .

Do solar photovoltaics meet US decarbonization goals?

Goal and system description. Given the high deployment targets for solar photovoltaics (PV) to meet U.S. decarbonization goals, and the limited carbon budget remaining to limit global temperature rise, accurate accounting of PV system life cycle energy use and greenhouse gas emissions is needed.

Does a high-resolution global assessment of rooftop solar photovoltaics potential exist?

Yet, only limited information is available on its global potential and associated costs at a high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we present a high-resolution global assessment of rooftop solar photovoltaics potential using big data, machine learning and geospatial analysis.

What is the IEA photovoltaic power systems programme?

The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) is one of the TCPs within the IEA and was established in 1993. The mission of the programme is to “enhance the international collaborative efforts which facilitate the role of photovoltaic solar energy as a cornerstone in the transition to sustainable energy systems.”

How to reduce the degradation of photovoltaic systems?

The degradation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the key factors to address in order to reduce the cost of the electricity produced by increasing the operational lifetime of PV systems. To reduce the degradation, it is imperative to know the degradation and failure phenomena.
