In a new weekly update for pv magazineSolcast, a DNV company, reports that November proved challenging for solar energy in most of the U.S. and Canada as persistent cloud cover reduced solar radiation. November 29, 2024 Solcast November proved challenging for solar energy in most of the US and Canada as persistent cloud cover reduced solar radiation, according to analysis using the Solcast API. Intensive low-pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean and moist tropical air masses created extensive cloud cover over much of the continent. While most regions saw irradiance fall well below average, South Texas, Florida and the northeastern…
