The 47th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference will be a virtual event to allow the photovoltaics community to continue to share our research and connect with each other during these difficult times.

Join CPR staff for a presentation where we use our SolarAnywhere® database to investigate long-term (20-year) trends and variability of the solar resource across the continental United States, South America and Europe.  Cloud-formation and pollution (wildfires, environmental regulations) changes are hypothesized as potential drivers of such trends.  Implications for PV yield and revenue relevant to PV developers and asset managers are discussed.

CPR’s Marc Perez will also discuss Observed Recent Trends in the Solar Resource across North America: Changing Cloud-Cover, AOD and the Implications for PV Yield
