Thousands of solar panels were shattered when a storm dropped golf ball-sized hail on a 3,300-acre, 350 MW utility-scale project in suburban Houston early last year. Production fell sharply
Solar panels that have been subjected to severe weather events produce about 1% less energy per year after these events, according to a new
To better understand hail strikes as a function of module location, we isolated a data set of modules with one to two obvious hail strikes. We then
By embedding emergency management principles throughout your solar project lifecycle, you transform your renewable energy system from a standard power source into a resilient business
Covers how on-site solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can be made more resilient to severe weather events.
This research includes development of best practices for resilient PV systems to ensure solar PV technologies are available when most needed—after disruptive events. Renewable energy
This paper establishes a framework for integrating resilience into all facets of solar PV system design and operation, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainability, efficiency, and efficacy of
IEA PVPS has published a new Task 13 report examining the operational and economic impacts of extreme weather on photovoltaic power plants. As extreme weather events become more frequent
