Coal is it blamed for emissions, politics, old power stations and health issues. According to new research, it may also be hurting solar power itself A study published in Nature Sustainability looked at 140,000+ solar installations 2017- 2023 and found that aerosols linked to coal-fired power can reduce PV output by blocking sunlight and changing cloud behavior In 2023, the loss was estimated at 5.8% of global solar generation, or about 111 TWh #coal #solar #energy
