  Partial U.S. eclipse produced similar daily solar energy losses to higher-obscuration European locations ↗

  In a new weekly update for pv magazine , Solcast, a DNV company, reports that the Aug. 12 solar eclipse caused highly variable irradiance losses across Europe and North America, shaped by obscuration, cloud cover, and the timing of the eclipse. However, eclipse-related power-market impacts varied much more, showing that irradiance loss or obscuration alone is not a reliable predictor of electricity-price effects.
