The Chinese had a festival for Photovaltaic since more than 2 thousand years ago?
Jun 21, 2023Quickly approaching the annual Dragon Boat Festival. This vibrant event is celebrated by Chinese communities around the world, in commemoration of the famous poet and politician, Qu Yuan.
The Chinese traditional festival is also marking the summer solstice. When mentioned the summer solstice, it is the longest day of the year with the maximum amount of sunlight received during the day. It marks the time when the tilt of Earth's axis is most inclined toward the sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight for the year.
With more sunlight during the day, PV systems can generate more electricity.
Because of the direct angle of the sunlight during the summer solstice, solar panels receive more energy per unit area than at other times of the year. This results in increased efficiency and output for the PV system.
So, I would say the Dragon Boat Festival can be also a day for the Photovoltaics.
The festival has evolved over the years and now encompasses a variety of activities such as cultural performances, parades, and temple fairs. As a result, the Dragon Boat Festival has become not only a time to celebrate tradition but also a time to spend with loved ones, enjoy fun activities, and celebrate Chinese culture.
It's a wonderful opportunity to come together and enjoy the traditions and values that make Chinese culture so rich and vibrant.
May the festive occasion of Dragon Boat Festival bring along lots of happiness and success for you and your dear ones.
