Enhancing Intra‐Hour Solar Irradiance Forecasting for Solar Applications: A Blended Model of Satellite, Sky Imager, and Persistence

Solar RRL, Volume 9, Issue 24, December 2025.
This paper presents a hybrid forecasting system for intra‐hour solar irradiance, blending an All‐Sky Imager (ASI) model with satellite and persistence forecasts. It demonstrates substantial performance improvements over standalone satellite predictions, particularly under dynamic sky conditions and highlights the ASI model's generalization capabilities

A Comparative Study of Recombination Mechanisms and Long‐Term Outdoor Degradation in Perovskite Solar Cells and Modules Including Self‐Assembled Monolayers

Solar RRL, Volume 9, Issue 13, July 2025.
This study compares inverted perovskite solar cells with and without a Me‐PACz self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) on NiOx. SAM integration improves energy level alignment between perovskite and NiOx, enhancing open‐circuit voltage . Temperature‐dependent DC and AC characterization reveals that SAM incorporation reduces interfacial recombination.

How Connected Cars Could Capture Cloud Dynamics for Solar Forecasting—Evidence from Two Simulation Scenarios

Solar RRL, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2025.
This work proposes to use sensor networks comprised of connected vehicles with light sensors for cloud shadow velocity and direction estimation. Spatiotemporal conditions are investigated in a simulative environment with a traffic simulation representing cars, a fractal cloud shadow model moving with defined velocities and directions as physical ...

Accuracy of daily extreme air temperatures under natural variations in thermometer screen ventilation

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2024.
Naturally ventilated thermometers in Stevenson screens or similar shelters provide the mainstay of surface air temperature data. These work well, except, occasionally, at low wind speeds. This can affect the daily minimum and, rarely, maximum temperatures, which are important in meteorology and climatology.
