This study investigates the fire behaviour of building-integrated photovoltaic (PV) claddings, focusing on the progression from glass failure to ignition under different cavity conditions. Experimental tests were conducted on two common PV cladding t...

In response to the pressing climate change emergency, the rapid expansion of renewable energies, particularly photovoltaic (PV) power in Spain, is reconfiguring national energy landscapes, thereby necessitating detailed spatial analysis. This study a...

As the penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) continues to increase, there is conjecture concerning the power quality implications of the inverters used to interface these DERs with low-voltage (LV) electricity supply networks. As a power...

Floating photovoltaic systems represent a promising solution for renewable energy generation, offering an alternative to agricultural land consumption. However, these installations have the potential to exert an effect on the aquatic ecosystem, empha...

Efficient utilization of solar energy in equatorial regions depends on accurately determining the optimal tilt and azimuth angles of fixed photovoltaic (PV) systems. This study presents a three-dimensional vector-based methodology that employs Direct...

Accurate day-ahead solar forecasting is essential for grid stability and energy planning. This study introduces a specialized forecasting framework that enhances accuracy by training models on specific day-to-day sky condition transitions. The framew...

This study evaluates the thermal performance of a prototype vacuum-tube solar cooker adapted to the climatic conditions of the Amazon region, Peru. Four grain types (Zea mays L., Triticum aestivum, Zea mays var. morochon, and Hordeum vulgare) were te...

This study investigates the efficacy of large language models (LLMs) in supporting responsible and optimized geographic site selection for large-scale solar energy farms. Using Microsoft Bing (predecessor to Copilot), Google Bard (predecessor to Gemi...

Solar panel deployment is vital to generate clean energy and reduce carbon emissions, but sustaining energy output requires regular monitoring and maintenance. This is particularly critical in countries with harsh environmental conditions, such as Qa...

Cr content χ of 0.4 at% for a Cr doped Nd (1 at%): YAG laser rod (LR) gave a higher laser output (Ioutput) than that of 0.0, 0.7, and 1.0 at% in a specially designed compact solar-pumped laser (SPL) outdoors. Ioutputs were measured as a function...
