Accurate estimation of solar radiation on solar fields requires knowledge of the sky, ground, and rear side of the preceding row view factors, and an estimation of the time and space occupied by the row’s shadow. Prior literature has addressed this issue using two-dimensional (2-D) techniques such as the crossed-strings method (CSM).
However, it can equally be applied to all types of solar fields, including rooftops and building façades. It only requires defining the view factors between the PV panels and the environment. The influence of the design parameters, location, and time are analyzed.
While the situation in the solar fields is different, excluding the first row of solar panels in the solar filed, the solar radiation on the rest of panels consists of direct beam, sky diffuse, ground reflected, and rear surface reflected irradiation.
In comparison, smaller solar PV fields such as rooftop installation where the aspect ratio L W is relatively small (<5), the view factors estimate exhibit significantly larger errors. In this part, author presented a case study in Libyan.
In solar PV fields, solar photovoltaic panels are typically arranged in parallel rows one after the other. This arrangement introduces variations in the distribution of solar irradiance over the entire field, compared to measurements recorded at meteorological weather stations and data obtained from climatic database platforms.
A recently developed numerical–analytical model by Nassar (2020) is used to facilitate the simulation of all types of solar fields.
