Quantifying the effects of the 2023 Canada wildfires on surface solar irradiance
We leverage multiple data sources to build a holistic solar resource map for the entirety of Canada in 2023. By comparing modeled clear-sky irradiance between historical period and 2023, the effects of the record-setting 2023 wildfire season on surface solar irradiance have been quantified. We have also studied how the smoke impacts the annual yield of leading solar PV sites in Canada.
