P3　Scattered light evaluation using an all-sky camera for the development of a farm-based photovoltaic simulation

Abstract

In the case of agriphotovoltaics, which aims for the coexistence of agriculture and photovoltaic power generation, it is important to predict the yield of the crops to be grown in addition to the amount of electricity to be generated. To estimate the behavior of shadows generated by solar panels, it is important to evaluate not only direct light, which can be regarded as collimated light, but also scattered light. Since observations with moving parts such as a diffuse pyranometer are not easy in snow-covered areas, we attempted to evaluate the behavior of scattered light using an all-sky camera without moving parts.
