What is interdisciplinary research program in China?

This five-year research program that involved scientists from atmospheric science, astronomy, earth science, marine science and space physics has greatly advanced our understanding of this interdisciplinary research field. Furthermore, the achievements accomplished through this program have begun to fill this knowledge gap in China.

Does water depth affect the energy performance of a solar panel?

In previous studies, Lanzafame et al. have conducted simulations and experiments to investigate the energy performance of the single-crystalline submerged photovoltaic (PV) solar panel (SP2), which is dependent on the depth of the water.

What factors affect the performance of bifacial solar panels?

The study examined several factors that can impact the performance of bifacial solar panels, including the angle of incidence of sunlight, the albedo (reflectivity) of the ground surface, and the height of the panels above the ground.

How does turbulent kinetic energy affect solar panels?

Furthermore, the drag and lift forces on the solar panels increased with the turbulent kinetic energy, especially for the first row of solar panels. The vortex formed at the side edges, and the chaotic flows may cause structure instabilities.

How does solar UV irradiance affect the troposphere?

In the ‘top-down’ influence of solar UV irradiance that propagates from the stratosphere to the troposphere, the small initial variation of solar signal could be amplified via the wave-mean flow interaction (Kodera and Kuroda 2002; Matthes et al. 2006; Kodera et al. 2016).

What are the challenges for solar generation?

We focus in particular on three preeminent challenges for solar generation: reducing the cost of installed solar capacity, ensuring the availability of technologies that can support expansion to very large scale at low cost, and easing the integration of solar generation into existing electric systems.
