The planning and control of solar power face unpredictability mainly due to factors such as local weather dependencies, irradiance fluctuations, humidity, and atmospheric pollutants.

摘要

The planning and control of solar power face unpredictability mainly due to factors such as local weather dependencies, irradiance fluctuations, humidity, and atmospheric pollutants. This study investigates the impact of atmospheric, environmental, and pollution parameters on solar output. Datasets from 1 year of operation of a 2.64 kW polycrystalline rooftop panel in Jaipur went through statistical and regression analysis. Following this, the energy production was correlated with 20 parameters, including 2022’s solar flares and CMP outbursts. From the parameters under investigation, ten exhibited a significant correlation with solar output. These were six atmospheric variables, namely, air temperature, relative humidity, cloud opacity, GHI, DNI, DHI, and four pollutant parameters (PM10, NOx, SO2, benzene). Using the regression technique in machine learning, a solar output model was developed, surpassing traditional empirical correlation-based models and improving input–output accuracy.
