Modelling Stormwater Runoff Changes Induced by Ground …
A modelling framework for the simulation of stormwater runoff in ground-mounted photovoltaic solar parks is proposed. Elements in the solar park and their mutual interactions during precipitation events are conceptualized in EPA-SWMM. We demonstrate the potential of the framework by exploring how different factors influence runoff formation. Specifically, we …

Impact of Rear Side Roughness on Optical and Electrical Properties of …
According to roughness measurements nano-roughness, valleys and horizontal structure expansion seem to affect passivation quality in addition to vertical roughness. Decreasing roughness increases reflection at 1200 nm and thus increases light trapping. As the highest benefit in light trapping appears with decreasing structure height ...
