(NEXSTAR) – A solar radiation storm stronger than one we’ve seen in over two decades is in progress, the Space Weather Prediction Center announced Monday. The storm is classified as an “S4” – the ...

As a clean, renewable resource, solar energy plays a central role in the global energy transition. However, the intermittent nature of solar radiation, affected by dynamic atmospheric conditions like ...

Researchers at the University of Isfahan in Iran claim to have improved the precision of digital elevation models (DEMs) in creating high-resolution annual solar energy potential maps. DEMs are 3D ...

Engineers from UNSW have created a worldwide UV radiation map for solar panels, highlighting major differences in exposure depending on climate and mounting systems. Their new global study has ...

Surface solar radiation across Europe is increasing due to changing cloud patterns and reduce air pollution, according to the findings of new research. The research, a collaboration between solar data ...

The remarkable aurora in early May this year demonstrated the power that solar storms can emit as radiation, but occasionally the Sun does something far more destructive. Known as “solar particle ...
