Investigating the Impact of Ground Albedo on the Performance of PV Systems (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Kotak, Y., Gul, M. S., Muneer, T., & Ivanova, S. M. (2015). Investigating the Impact of Ground Albedo on the Performance of PV Systems.

Several factors influence the energy generation of Photovoltaic (PV) installations. A ground albedo value of 0.2 is widely accepted and is used in modelling of PV systems. Foreground surfaces may have different albedo and hence a constant albedo valu... Read More about Investigating the Impact of Ground Albedo on the Performance of PV Systems.
