Broad-Time-Horizon Solar Power Prediction and PV Performance Degradation Research at the University of Arizona

An overview of University of Arizona cooperative research efforts towards enhanced solar power prediction over PV system operational lifetime is provided. Integration of established research programs in power forecasting (including irradiance and irradiance-to-power modeling) and in device and system-level performance degradation studies offer new opportunities to address solar power prediction needs over short- and long-term time horizons.
