However, there is very little progress in the evaluation of spatial light for such photovoltaic planting systems. This study examined the amount of daylight accessible in a photovoltaic greenhouse for mushroom vertical cultivation in Kunming, China. The spatial intensity of daylight was simulated with RADIANCE, a software application that simulates solar and light rays by ray-tracing. The findings indicated that the average disparity in sunlight intensity between each layer of the shelf of edible mushroom, when arranged in an east–west or north–south orientation, was below 9% at noon. However, the latter configuration resulted in a more even distribution of daylight in the greenhouse. The shading percentage remains relatively consistent during the four significant days of spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice. On the summer solstice, the shadow range is primarily concentrated in the greenhouse due to the elevated position of the sun. This leads to a lack of consistent lighting across different heights within the greenhouse. As the solar altitude angle decreases, the intensity of light decreases but the light inhomogeneity increases.

Although power degradation can affect the total energy production of a module over its lifetime, module safety failures necessitate the removal of a module leading to a loss of not only the particular asset, but the earning potential of the device. Therefore, it is critical to ensure that the components that provide essential safety functions for PV module operate for their entire rated lifetime. PV backsheets provide necessary electrical insulation to the completed device and failure of this component is cause for a immediate removal of the module. Degradation of the PV module backsheet has led to module safety failures in large-scale installations, costing millions of dollars in damages and lost potential revenue. The spatio-temporal degradation of fielded PV modules is important to study in order to identify which modules within installations are experiencing the greatest exposure conditions and in turn have the highest chance of failure. This paper describes a comprehensive field survey protocol developed for monitoring PV module backsheet performance using solely non-destructive methods in commercial PV fields. The protocol establishes a field naming convention, sampling method, data handling requirements, and measurement procedures. By ensuring consistent data collection practices, the field survey protocol enables research groups to obtain data of uniform quality on backsheet performance over multiple years and locations. In this study, the developed protocol was implemented at forty-one PV sites. Eight different types of airside layer backsheet materials including poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), acrylic PVDF, poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene-co-vinylidene fluoride) (THV), poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and glass were identified using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The field survey results show that the spatial distribution of degradation indicators are non-uniform within a particular module, individual site, and across site locations. The degradation of PV modules increased in severity for modules mounted at the edge of rows (across a field) and near the junction box (within a module).

In this article, a mathematical model that incorporates both theoretical and experimental solar irradiance spectra is presented for thin-film solar cells based on copper zinc tin sulfo-selenide (CZTSSe). Four important performance metrics—open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, conversion efficiency, and fill factor—are assessed using the model, which is implemented using the Maple software. Considering different layer thicknesses, these metrics are examined for a ZnO/CdS/CZTSSe solar cell. Characteristic curves for current–voltage and power-voltage are also examined.

The findings show that adding a CdS buffer layer considerably enhances every performance metric and that, for every metric, the real diode model represents performance more accurately than the ideal model.

Concerning the environmental analysis of the new solar dryer, the embodied energy is determined at 5006.09 kWh and for the time required for the energy payback is approximately 5.60 years, as long as the annual <span><math><msub><mrow><mi>CO</mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub></math></span> emissions is 511.12 kg/year.
