Boosting solar accessibility and potential of urban districts in the Nordic climate: A case study in Trondheim
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The harvesting of solar energy still encounters many barriers in Scandinavia. This paper proposes a set of solar urban planning recommendations to enhance the solar accessibility and potential and thereby increase the ... -
Effects of retro-reflective and angular-selective retro-reflective materials on solar energy in urban canyons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The study deals with the application of retro-reflective (RR) and angular-selective retro-reflective (AS-RR) coatings on surfaces (i.e. the street ground and the south-exposed façade) within the urban canyon. Solar analyses ... -
Large-Scale Experimental Wind-Driven Rain Exposure Investigations of Building Integrated Photovoltaics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are photovoltaic materials that replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelopes, such as roofs or facades, i.e. the BIPV system serves dual purposes, as ... -
The Influence of Snow and Ice Coverage on the Energy Generation from Photovoltaic Solar Cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This literature study examines previous studies of the optical properties of snow, and attempts to tie them together with studies on the effects of shading on photovoltaic solar panels. The study presents some information ...
