Solar Photovoltaic (PV) largely depends on the sun irradiation or insolation level (in W/m2) on its surface for electricity conversion process. Cloud movement especially thick cloud near to earth surface creates a non-permanent shading on solar PV farms top surface which significantly reduce the ele...
