The sun heats the Earth’s surface with solar radiation, and how quickly it heats everything up depends on the color of the surfaces being heated. Albedo is the term that describes the fraction of ...

NASA has confirmed that a subtle but measurable change in how our planet reflects sunlight is under way, and it is literally ...

For more than 2 decades, NASA satellites have quietly tracked how much sunlight Earth reflects back into space. That record ...

Researchers have simulated 160 cases of PV rooftop installation in southern and northern Italy. Among changing parameters were size and type of the panels, as well as their roof cover rate. The ...

FARGO — Albedo is a word describing the portion of the sun’s radiation reflected from a surface. Most solar radiation passes directly through air with relatively little absorption. The reason it is ...

Brazilian plastics manufacturer Azul Pack has developed a reflective membrane for bifacial solar power plants. The solution aims to increase albedo and optimize energy production in micro and ...

A new algorithm has been developed to simultaneously estimate multiple shortwave radiation components using data from China's Fengyun-3F satellite. This innovative approach significantly improves the ...
