Does photovoltaic cover layer topography affect polarized light pollution?
Textured photovoltaic cover layers are usually engineered to maximize sunlight-harvesting, without taking into consideration their impact on polarized light pollution. The goal of the present study is therefore to experimentally and computationally assess the influence of the cover layer topography on polarized light pollution.
Does photovoltaic solar produce polarized light pollution?
Unlike CSP facilities, photovoltaic solar facilities create polarized light pollution by reflecting horizontally polarized light, which, in turn, negatively affects some aquatic insects (Szaz et al., 2016) and may similarly impact nonbee insect flower visitors. ...
Do anti-reflective solar panels reduce polarized light pollution?
Below is the link to the electronic supplementary material. Száz, D., Mihályi, D., Farkas, A. et al. Polarized light pollution of matte solar panels: anti-reflective photovoltaics reduce polarized light pollution but benefit only some aquatic insects.
What is polarized light pollution?
Polarized light pollution (PLP) associated with solar panels causes aquatic insects to prefer to oviposit on panels over natural water bodies, with potential to negatively impact their global populations as solar energy expands.
Do dark photovoltaic modules polarize light?
A) Dark photovoltaic modules coated by a reflecting planar cover layer act as polarization traps for polarotactic insects (left) if the photovoltaic-reflected light is partially or completely horizontally polarized. An appropriate texturing of the cover layer strongly reduces polarized light pollution and improves sunlight-harvesting (right).
