• Dahlioui, Dounia & Imenes, Anne Gerd (2024). Snow Impact on PV Performance: Review and Investigation Towards Optimum System Design. Show summary

  PV technology faces certain challenges in cold climates such as snow and ice acting as barriers, obstructing light from reaching the cells, but also opportunities for increased albedo during snowy winters. This work presents two sections highlighting : ▪ A review of the impact of snow on PV performance focusing on the challenges and opportunities posed by snow accumulation. ▪ Distribution of snow losses across various PV technologies and climate zones, as reported in literature. ▪ Analysis and classification of factors influencing snow losses. ▪ Description of snow soiling process. ▪ Parametric analysis of energy yield and snow losses to tilt angle and ground coverage ratio through production modelling using Solar Advisor Model (SAM) for a case study in Grimstad
