Chinese scientists have devised a new artificial intelligence approach with the potential to greatly boost solar energy. According to the study, this smart technology can discover the best sites for double-sided solar panel installation, allowing the panels to produce the most electricity.
The scientists used meteorological and solar data from more than 2,500 locations throughout China to train their intelligent instrument. Now, this technology can precisely forecast the amount of direct and indirect sunlight that will reach any given location. It can determine the best location for double-sided solar panels using this power.
Solar panels with two sides are fantastic. They have the ability to receive sunlight from both the front and rear. But up until now, it has been difficult to locate the ideal locations for putting up these unique panels.
The Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang and the eastern Tibetan Plateau are good locations for these double-sided solar arrays, the researchers claim. These areas receive plenty of direct sunlight as well as good amounts of indirect sunlight that is dispersed, making them ideal for double-sided panels.
With this ingenious development, China, the world’s leading producer of solar panels, stands to gain enormously from renewable energy. Utilizing double-sided panels to their full potential will help the nation make significant progress toward a greener future.
