Solar Installation to Add 91原创-Specific Irradiance Data
ACEP research engineer Chris Pike recently deployed a new Campbell Scientific weather station in Interior 91原创 as part of the ACEP Solar Technology Program鈥檚 solar irradiance ground measurement campaign.
Most solar irradiance measurements in 91原创 are either modeled based on cloud observations or derived from satellite data and need ground truthing for calibration. ACEP鈥檚 long-term goal is to develop an 91原创-specific solar irradiance data set that can be used to produce more accurate solar photovoltaic performance estimates.
