Investigations of Site-Specific, Long Term Average Albedo Determination for Accurate Bifacial System Energy Modeling

Design of a low-cost mobile multispectral albedometer with geopositioning and absolute orientation

“…Albedometers are also used for climate studies including glaciers [8] , snow and ice [9] and solar collector testing for thermal and photovoltaic (PV) systems [10] . Albedo measurements have become increasingly important for bifacial solar PV systems [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] . Albedometers are also increasingly important for three new solar PV applications: i) albedo optimization for low concentration PV systems [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , ii) agrivoltaic crop albedo [22] , [23] , and iii) PV material selection for optimization of a given location [24] , [25] .…”
