Solar generation across Europe has been impacted up to 20% this week, as Saharan dust carried through the atmosphere reduced clear sky irradiance. Dust clouds can reduce solar generation up to 20% but usually last a few days. The dust from the low-pressure system affected solar generation in Europe, with regions like Italy, southern France, and southern Germany experiencing significant impacts. Solcast uses satellite data and AI algorithms to track clouds and aerosols globally for accurate irradiance modeling.
