Overview

• Analysis of Himawari-8 and Himawari-9 satellite data provides detailed insights into solar irradiance variability.
• Regions near the equator show more consistent solar irradiance compared to higher latitudes.
• High elevation areas exhibit greater variability due to cloud activity, impacting solar power output.
• Study suggests distributed small photovoltaic systems over wide areas to reduce fluctuations in power generation.
• Findings aim to enhance solar energy strategies, supporting sustainable energy and climate change mitigation.
