Solar Simulator to Test PVT Performance

In 2011 PSE AG of Freiburg, Germany, provided the Cologne Solar Energy Assessment Centre of TÜV Rheinland with a new steady state solar simulator. This test bench is to be used for measuring photovoltaic modules, thermal solar collectors and combinations of both technologies, known as PVT, for t ...

How to measure Photovoltaic Performance

Testing the performance of a PV panel is important in the decision making of plant building and purchase. Test laboratory Albarubens chooses the best possible test conditions by setting up their tests in natural sun light rather than in artificial light. The Kipp & Zonen CMP 11 Pyranometer help ...

The new CMP10, because we know what makes a secondary standard pyranometer better

Practice makes perfect, and as a result Kipp & Zonen launches a new addition to its well-known CMP series of pyranometers. The CMP10 is a secondary standard pyranometer that reduces maintenance and has the best price-quality-performance ratio on the market. The secret of this new development lie ...

Turkey’s Growing Research in Solar Energy

Solar energy is becoming increasingly important in Turkey, along with other renewable sources such as hydro and wind power. There is no grid connected system yet, but an infrastructure is planned to be realised very soon.

Copy of SMP10 Pyranometer

ISO Secondary Standard pyranometer with lowest maintenance and maximum performance for both meteorological and solar energy applications.

Improving Solar Radiation Data in Brazil

The Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) is part of the Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia of Brazil and one of their key projects is SONDA (Sistema de Organização Nacional de Dados Ambientais). Among the goals of SONDA is the collection of meteorological and radiation data at sever ...

Solar Monitoring in Project PrédiSol

In April 2011 French companies TOTAL, Bertin Technologies and ARMINES signed an agreement to pull their skills to carry out research for the PrédiSol project. This focuses on improving the estimation tools for long term solar resource data derived from satellite imagery and specific campaigns of ...

PV Monitoring for Research and Education

With new solar cell technologies coming onto the market, comparison between the different types gets harder and harder. This is especially the case in areas with less than optimal solar conditions, such as the Netherlands. To get a better understanding of the differences in real life conditions ...

PV performance on La Réunion

On the French island of La Réunion, in the Indian Ocean, we find an interesting application within the project ‘Performance PV France’. Kipp & Zonen pyranometers measure the solar radiation received by photo-voltaic cells on fifteen different planes, which represent a semi-hemisphere.

Solar Monitoring in Qatar

Launched in 2011, QEERI is the Qatar Environment & Energy Research Institute and a member of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. QEERI is conducting research in the areas of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), Efficient PV Systems and the effect of dust on Solar Co ...

Solar Energy Challenges in the Gobi Desert

The Gobi is a large desert region in Northern China and Southern Mongolia. It is a cold desert with frost, and occasionally snow, occurring on its dunes. The climate of the Gobi is one of great extremes, ranging from -40°C in winter to +50°C in summer, combined with rapid changes of temperature ...

Solar Instruments applied to Vehicle Testing by Hyundai America Technical Center

Hyundai America Technical Center Inc. (HATCI) is the design, technology and engineering arm for all North American models of the global vehicle manufacturer Hyundai-KIA Motors Group. At HATCI cars are being tested to the extreme with the aim to exceed customer demands and provide the best qualit ...

Chile, High Potential but Little Solar Data

Chile is a country that heavily depends on imports to provide its energy needs. Fossil fuels provide a large percentage of the primary energy consumption, whilst renewable energy sources are still very limited. Therefore, the Chilean government has adopted renewable energy quotas for electrici ...
