Worldwide Solar Energy Model Provides Historical PV Performance Data
AARHUS, Denmark, July 2, 2019 — A model for how much energy photovoltaic (PV) systems produce worldwide has been developed by researchers at Aarhus University. The researchers collected 38 years of global solar radiation, weather, and temperature data with a spatial resolution of 40 kilometers x 40 kilometers for the entire globe, and compared this with historical data for PV installations in Europe. For every European country, four different PV configurations (rooftop, optimum tilt, tracking, and delta) were
