Solar concentration, solar resource utilization, and sustainability

Nonimaging Optics: Efficient Design for Illumination and Solar Concentration XVII, 2020
With mass production of solar panels and industrial learning bringing the cost of solar electricity below 2¢/kWh in many parts of the world, the question is increasingly asked: what research is left to do in solar energy? Cheap photovoltaics with large-scale battery storage on the horizon, so the argument goes, are about to solve all of our energy ...

Solar Radiation Resource

2018
The sun is the main source of renewable energy. It emits radiation at an equivalent black body temperature of about 6,000 K with a constant intensity outside the earth’s atmosphere. Only direct (beam) radiation is available outside the earth’s atmosphere.

Untapping solar energy resources

Nature Photonics, 2020
The photovoltaics market has long been dominated by silicon, but further improvements of these solar cells require novel approaches. Now, triplet–triplet annihilation photon upconversion has been used to harvest photons from below the bandgap of silicon, extending the spectral response and potentially improving the efficiency of these cells.

The solar radiation resource

Energy, 1983
Abstract We discuss the characteristics of solar radiation which are most useful for the assessment of solar technologies. Graphs are presented which show the total annual insolation incident on the principal tracking and non-tracking collectors. Additional graphs are developed for the latitudinal and seasonal variations of solar radiation in the ...

Solar resource mapping in Norway

2022
<p>Dramatically reduced costs, increased electrification and a growing resistance to onshore wind power, makes solar energy, and photovoltaics increasingly relevant in Norway. However, there is a lack of accurate knowledge on the available solar resource. Of key importance is solar irradiance, and the accuracy of this is paramount for the
