The effects of aerosols and clouds on POAI over the SC (top panels) and the NI (bottom panels): (a,b) PAE; (c,d) PCE; (e,f) PCE minus PAE (Unit: %). The numbers outside the parentheses within each panel denote the regional averaged PAE and PCE, while the numbers inside the parentheses represent the regional averaged AE and CE (Unit: kWh/m2/d).
