Her findings should make photovoltaic systems more efficient. The measurements take place in Meierhoft&auml;lli near Davos at around 2,400 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bodytext wp-block-paragraph\">The researcher uses sensors to examine the sunlight reflected by the snow cover. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slf.ch\/de\/news\/photovoltaik-ertrag-im-winter-optimieren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>, the majority of sunlight is reflected by the snow in the direction of incidence. Sunlight is thus largely reflected in the direction of other mountain slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bodytext wp-block-paragraph\">The snow surface reflects different wavelengths to different degrees. The intensity of certain wavelengths thus becomes stronger over time than in the originally incident light. M&ouml;dl is investigating how spectra differ at different locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bodytext wp-block-paragraph\">The measurements should enable photovoltaic systems to generate electricity even more effectively. Optimally positioned systems should then also be able to use the light reflected from neighboring slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bodytext wp-block-paragraph\">The sensors measure wavelengths between 340 and 2500 nanometers. Photovoltaics only use the range between 500 and 1100 nanometers. According to M&ouml;dl, the larger spectrum makes it possible to gain further insights into rock warming and snow melting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bodytext wp-block-paragraph\">Measurements are also planned for the coming season. &ldquo;In order to make a well-founded statement, I need to record data under different conditions,&rdquo; says the researcher.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researcher Anja M\u00f6dl from the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) has investigated how snow-covered terrain reflects sunlight near Davos.
