The solar water pumping system is one of the brightest applications of solar energy for its
environmental and economic advantages. It consists of a photovoltaic panel which converts …

Any photovoltaic (PV) system technology must have been experienced for at least a year to
provide valuable information about its seasonal behavior, which requires knowledge of the …

Enhancing the produced thermal energy of a flat plate thermal collector by increasing the
received sunlight using reflectors is an economical solution. For this purpose, tilts …

A discontinuous East-West two-position tracking system (DT-2P), in which the control only
sends two orders a day, is a good solution for balancing the benefits and drawbacks of …

This work proposes a mathematical model of the PTSC in one dimensional (1-D) simulated
under the sub-Saharan climate conditions of the Central African Republic (CAR). An optical …

Clear-sky models are needed in various fields of solar energy, such as solar sensors
calibration, quality control of solar data, CSP and PV energy forecasting, etc. The aim of this …

This paper describes the mathematical modeling of a parabolic trough collector where the
heat transfer fluid has temperature dependent physical properties for which we have …

This study presents a comparative assessment of nine parameterized methods to estimate
Linke turbidity (TL) in the five Köppen–Geiger climate zones. The evaluation is intensified by …

The photovoltaic energy is widely used in modern power network due to its environmental
and economic benefits. Solar car park is one of the solar photovoltaic system applications …

Radiative transfer in the Earth's atmosphere under clear-sky conditions strongly depends on
turbidity due to aerosols and hydrometeors. It is therefore important to know its temporal …
