A long-term decline in downward surface solar radiation [PDF]

National Science Review
ABSTRACT Downward surface solar radiation (DSSR) is critical for the Earth system. It is well-known that DSSR over land has fluctuated on decadal timescales in the past. By utilizing a combination of station observations and the latest CMIP6 simulations, here we show that DSSR had a global consistent decline during 1959–2014, with ...

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling [PDF]

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Hybrid Semi‐Transparent Perovskite‐Photovoltaics and Concentrated Solar‐Thermal Harvesting Collectors [PDF]

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hybrid semi‐transparent perovskite‐photovoltaic and concentrating solar‐thermal collector is developed to spectrally split sunlight for simultaneous electricity and heat generation. The design achieves thermal decoupling between the photovoltaic and thermal components, offering a promising route for efficient co‐harvesting of solar electricity and ...

Photovoltaic panels tilt angle optimization [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The tilt angle of solar panels is significant for capturing solar radiation that reaches the surface of the panel. Photovoltaic (PV) performance and efficiency are highly affected by its angle of tilt with respect to the horizontal plane.

Effects of Aerosols and Clouds on the Levels of Surface Solar Radiation and Solar Energy in Cyprus [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
Cyprus plans to drastically increase the share of renewable energy sources from 13.9% in 2020 to 22.9% in 2030. Solar energy can play a key role in the effort to fulfil this goal. The potential for production of solar energy over the island is much higher than most of European territory because of the low latitude of the island and the nearly cloudless

Architected Spatially Deterministic Multiscale Phase Segregation in Block Copolymer Composites for Augmented Radiative Cooling [PDF]

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiscale phase segregation in block copolymers enables spatially deterministic structuring from molecular to macroscopic scales, decoupling solar scattering and infrared emission for augmented radiative cooling. ABSTRACT Passive radiative cooling, which reflects solar irradiation while emitting heat through the atmospheric window, provides a ...

Solar radiation at the surface in the Baltic Proper [PDF]

OCEANOLOGIA, 2010
Radiation data recorded at 12 sites around the central part of the Baltic Sea during 1996-2000 drawn from the BALTEX (Baltic Sea Experiment) meteorological data archives are used to study the spatio-temporal variability of daily global radiation totals. The annual average daily global radiation total varies from about 10 MJ m-2 at Visby(on Gotland) and

Mapping potential surface contributions to reflected solar radiation

Environmental Research Communications, 2022
Modifying Earth’s albedo is one of the strategies considered to reduce its energy imbalance and slow global warming by reflecting solar energy. Atmospheric contributions to reflected solar radiation through stratospheric aerosols or cloud brightening ...

Przegląd Geofizyczny, 2023
The presence of cloud cover usually reduces incoming solar radiation. The influence of cloudiness on solar energy reaching Earth’s surface mostly depends on the cloud amount, its genera and other properties. Due to processes of absorption, scattering and
