Solar Energy On Earth: Course Photovoltaics #30

On its way through the atmosphere, solar radiation is attenuated by various processes. The main reasons are the reflection at clouds as well as absorption and scattering. Due to scattering, the radiation arriving on earth can be divided into two main parts: the direct radiation coming from the sun and the diffuse radiation coming from all directions. ---------------------------------------------------- This video is part of the PViTeach program, which offers many free courses on photovoltaics and even offers the opportunity to earn an official certificate.
