October 21, 2019

PV Magazine emphasized the work of Laboratory of Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics. In the paper by Julian Ascencio-Vasquez Methodology of Köppen-Geiger-Photovoltaic climate classification and implications to worldwide mapping of PV system performance research team of LPVO developed a new methodology for global climate classification intended for use in photovoltaics. The paper published in the journal Solar Energy classifies the Earth into 12 photovoltaic climate zones based on the climate, amount of radiation and a combination of population density and total area.
