Investigating the Impact of Gamma-Ray Bursts on Solar Photovoltaic System
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful cosmic events that release intense gamma-ray radiation from distant galaxies, with potential implications for renewable energy systems, particularly solar photovoltaics. We investigate the relationships between temperature, solar energy, and light intensity in the context of GRBs' impact on solar photovoltaic systems. Analysis of a dataset comprising 77 observations reveals weak negative correlations: -0.086 for temperature, -0.096 for time, and -0.030 for temperature in relation to solar energy, indicating minimal influence from GRBs. T-statistics of -0.749 and -0.833 suggest non-significant results at conventional levels, supported by p-values of 4.54E-6 for temperature, 0.223 for solar energy and time, and 0.208 for solar energy and temperature, all exceeding the 0.05 threshold. These findings imply that GRBs likely have little significant effect on solar photovoltaic systems in terms of the examined variables, necessitating further research with larger sample sizes or alternative methodologies for more conclusive insights.
