Determination of average ground reflectivity for solar collectors

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

An analytical method has been developed for the determination of average ground reflectivites for solar collectors and has been successfully applied to 12 representative winter landscapes. This method allows consideration of a wide variety of landscapes, independent of season, and rests on an analytical basis not existing in previous methods. An average ground reflectivity of 0.6 to 0.7 is accurate for most rural landscapes in winter where snow cover is predominant. (WDM)
