Description

Forecasting is very important for using solar energy in power grids, which helps us work toward a cleaner planet. Solar forecasting is all about predicting sunlight (irradiance) and how much power solar panels will produce. This field uses knowledge from weather science and helps plan how power systems will run. In the past ten years, solar forecasting has improved a lot, changing the way we think about and use solar energy.

Solar Irradiance and Photovoltaic Power Forecasting gives a clear view of everything you need to know about solar forecasting. It explains the basic ideas, the math and data used, the main methods for predicting solar power, and how to check if forecasts are accurate. This book is perfect for anyone new to the field or for those who want to learn more about how solar forecasting works. It offers useful advice, clear steps, and helpful information for understanding and using solar power forecasts.
