A method for predicting electrical energy production of a photovoltaic system included in at least one aircraft is described. The method includes determining a first predicted amount of solar irradiance for each of a plurality of geographical points, determining a second predicted amount of solar irradiance received by the at least one aircraft along a flight path of the at least one aircraft, wherein the flight path includes a subset of the plurality of geographical points, and wherein the second predicted amount is based at least in part on the first predicted amount, and determining a predicted amount of electrical energy produced by the photovoltaic system along the flight path, based at least in part on the second predicted amount. |
