Monitoring Solar Radiation to improve Photovoltaic Efficiency
PV panel Photovoltaic (PV) is the ?eld of technology and research related to the application of Photovoltaic Cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity. The cost of solar cells, panels and arrays is still rather high, so research into new materials and improvement of ef?ciency continues. Monitoring the solar radiation plays an important role in analysing both the ef?ciency of the cells and evaluating optimal locations for ‘solar f
