Observations of Snow and Ice Formation on Solar Photovoltaic Panels and an Enhanced Method of Modelling Snow Melting from Solar Photovoltaic Panels
DownloadSpring 2019
One of the fundamental limitations of solar photovoltaic (PV) generating systems in cold regions is snow accumulations blocking irradiance from reaching the PV cells. Snow accumulations on PV panels result in both reduced electricity generation and increased uncertainty in electricity generation...
