Surface Solar Radiation

Surface solar radiation (SSR) estimation is crucial for accurately forecasting solar energy production and optimizing grid stability. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy of SSR estimates from satellite data, particularly addressing biases and uncertainties introduced by factors like altitude and seasonal variations, employing algorithms such as SARAH-2 and HelioMont. These advancements are vital for enhancing the reliability of solar power predictions and improving the integration of renewable energy sources into power grids. The ongoing refinement of SSR models directly impacts the economic viability and environmental sustainability of solar energy technologies.
