Asymmetric impact of fossil fuel and renewable energy consumption on economic growth: A nonlinear technique

Khan Baz et al.

Summary: By analyzing the time series data of Pakistan, asymmetric and nonlinear cointegration between fossil fuel, renewable energy, and economic growth was confirmed. Positive shocks had asymmetric feedback causality with economic growth and renewable energy consumption, while a symmetric bidirectional hypothesis was observed between fossil fuel consumption and economic growth. An asymmetrically unidirectional causal nexus was confirmed between foreign direct investment and economic growth.

Energy yield measurement of an elevated PV system on a white flat roof and a performance comparison of monofacial and bifacial modules

W. Muehleisen et al.

Summary: The study reveals that installing bifacial solar panels on a flat rooftop of industrial buildings can effectively increase yield, but changes in albedo due to soiling and moss growth make it difficult to accurately calculate power output. Experimentally, optimizing the layout of solar panels and selecting panels with higher bifaciality can increase yield.
