Power loss up to 20 percent: How Sahara dust threatens Europe's solar systems - t3n – digital pioneers

Sahara dust can significantly reduce the performance of solar systems (photovoltaics). In order to ensure a safe supply, the forecasts must be accurate – but according to researchers, the corresponding models are often beside each other. read more on t3n.de

In order to predict the solar photovoltaic production of a region over the months, we need to know how to predict its weather. But not only, today warn researchers. Because the dust coming from the Sahara could play a significant role in the matter. PV solar is among the energies that are currently developing most rapidly in the world. Between 2018 and 2023, the global production capacity has simply tripled. And the International Energy Agency (…
